I find myself questioning a lot of things regarding your passing. I hate that I have this sense that you were so quickly taken from your loving family and friends. We all miss you VERY much and Millie is getting so big. You would be so proud.....she looks just like you!!!! Crystal and I have become very close this past year and I feel like that is you and I appreciate you bringing so many amazing people into my

The hoildays are coming up again but the biggest things that is coming our way, is millie 1st birthday. I have to admit that there are days that are very hard. I visit you often as if something will change? but its only the seasons and my flowers or decorations I leave you to show you, you are not alone.
Anyways, there are some things that have change around here, but we are still hanging on.
Love you always

Hey jose,
It's been sometime now, almost year since you been gone. I have been watching and listing, and I can tell you alot has change since you been gone. I seat down and watch everything from the sideline. Keeping my distance from everyone; you know I have always been one to keep my distance. I can say that moving on has been hard for everyone. I know for me it's different. It's not easy, sometime I seat back and i
Hey jose,
It's been sometime now, almost year since you been gone. I have been watching and listing, and I can tell you alot has change since you been gone. I seat down and watch everything from the sideline. Keeping my distance from everyone; you know I have always been one to keep my distance. I can say that moving on has been hard for everyone. I know for me it's different. It's not easy, sometime I seat back and i find myself thinking about the things we done, or talk about. i know you have always invited me over, but i have been so busy never really had that chance. Sometime I look at my phone and wonder when I am going to get one of those smart butt text from you. *laugh*
I hope your doing ok and watching over the family. Remember you are always loved, and remembered.
Take care
Jose

Wow Jose, it's been a while since you passed. It's taken me this long to talk to you, if you can hear me. I haven't seen you since high school, but I saw Crystal four days before. I was asking about you. I remember you were always nice to me. I hate high school out here. I moved my Jr. year. I remember the first time I met you, it was at a Del Taco I believe with Sandi, her
Wow Jose, it's been a while since you passed. It's taken me this long to talk to you, if you can hear me. I haven't seen you since high school, but I saw Crystal four days before. I was asking about you. I remember you were always nice to me. I hate high school out here. I moved my Jr. year. I remember the first time I met you, it was at a Del Taco I believe with Sandi, her mom, and my mom. I don't even remember what it was that you said to me, but it was somethin like Wow, does this girl EVER stop talking? lol. You were, and still are, a one of a kind Jose. If ANY good has come of this, it's taught me to never take advantage of life. I come home from work, and I pass the church where your mass was. I head up Waalew to go home, and I see the cemetary. You are always with me, and I always remember you and never forget what an amazing person you are. I just hope you know how much I truly regret letting life's little unimportant things rob me of your friendship. I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life. And I'm sorry. But I promise to not let this happen again. I miss you! And I hope you can forgive me.

I meet Crystal and Jose at a class in Ft. Irwin. My office was conducting training for the 5-Tier Training system. Both Crystal and Jose were in attendance. I remember instantly talking to Crystal because I am an expecting mother to be as well. I wanted to chat with her about her maternity uniforms and such. Any how through out the class Jose was making jokes so I caught on early on that he had a good sense of humor.

I know that I didn’t know you both long enough but you both made an impression on me.
I'm sorry Crystal for your loss but you have to stay strong for your baby. Remember that God will help you get through these hard times. To all of his family my condolences go out to all of you.
