Marissa still calls her "baby sister" even as adults! Nicki is saved as Nico-lettuce in Marissa's phone since they were in high school. Nicki only uses Marissa's family nickname "Rissi" so often that now all of Nicki's friends, and new introductions all refer to her as Rissi, which is super sweet! As a fellow dancer, we do expect Nicki to be jamming out all night long with Marissa on the dance floor.

Marissa's older sister that is saved in her phone as Big Sis! Our sweet Jackie is a loving mother of 2 gorgeous girls now. Marissa & Jackie's favorite pass time is giggling about playing on the trampoline as kids, funny family vacation stories and discussing our love of art. We know Jackie is going to bring not only the fun party spirit, but the adorable flower girls as well!

When Marissa recieved Amber's contact from Ram, it read "Amber 'lil guy'". Ramiro raves about how much he loves his brilliant younger sister. Marissa was a little intimidated before she met Amber, but when Amber made the same joke as Ram, she quickly realized Amber and Ram have the same sense of humor! Marissa knew right then that she had gained a very kind, and hilariously funny sister. Amber and Marissa clicked right away, bonding over funny family stories and our love of Disney! Amber is a real one, and now she gets to be Marissa's real sister (officially)!

Marissa and Kathryn have been friends since they were 3 years old! Kathryn is saved as "Kit-Kat G-lover" when they both got their first cell phones a million years ago. From T-bar-M camp to us both living it up in the DFW area, Kathryn and Marissa still love laughing about funny Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek or Spongebob quotes! Kathryn is our world traveler, and has always been there for Marissa in every season.

Deceased 09/08/2019 Tyler was taken from us on a glorious September day. We knew this day would come on the count of how much this man does not shut up. We had good men out there, but I guess we had good women out there too -hence why Rachel (his wife) kidnapped him from manhood. He was a good man and will be remembered. You may find him practicing anesthesia on you soon -so be nice to this man, only I can pick fun with him. Tyler and I dream about building planes and traveling the world at some point -we've both lived humbled lives and enjoy most of the same things except my expensive taste -that will be sure to land us into trouble some day (I swear I'm not Indiana Jones -so stop that thought right there).

Deceased 06/10/2023 We had a few good men out there but this one was taken from us on a wonderful summer day and the world hasn't been the same. As childhood best friend -'Zo' had my back when it came to making smart decisions with my life. I guess that's why I stayed single for so long, could be a coincidence. Well anyways, this man will be missed Steph (his wife) has actually given this guy his manhood back -huh.. who would have thought. If this guy hasn't sold you multiple yachts, or managed your overseas accounts, or sold you a panther, then hm, I guess he went under a different alias at the time. Always by my side and so supportive as his entire family has been too!

Deceased 07/21/2019 Chuck was taken from us abruptly one sunny day in July. His whereabouts were unknown so we put in a missing persons report (some say he never actually got married) -although, rumor has it his wife runs a tight whip and she's basically a model in my book and a nurse (like c'mon she's basically me guys). All jokes aside, this man once pulled 3 opponents off of me after getting targeted on the football field he -took many punches for me on and off the field and has also given punches for me. Chuck instilled the value of having a good time in life and loosening up every once in a while. An amazing father, a great husband, and a kickass friend. You will always be missed.

Deceased 10/23/22 The most interesting man in the world, he wins Dundee's, beat you in a game of chess -blind folded, he raps, and apparently really good at magic because this man has disappeared in a vanishing act performed October 23rd, 2022 during a storm in a white sands desert (New Mexico). Casey is a balanced specimen, he's friendly, wise, loving, sacrificing, generous, humble, smart, funny, strong (he's got like full DAD strength -I guess you can say he's like the greatest Avenger, well actually I take that back his wife Sammy is) -most of all he's my older brother. He has taught me more than anyone or anything in life to fight for what you want and to continue to be a role model for others in the name of God -first and foremost.
