I think of him often. I remember his sweetness and thoughfulness. He always remembered my birthday and brought me a gift hand picked just for me. He loved classsic cars (especially his convertable 1964 Galaxy), sunsets, free style music, black olives, mayonnaise, and so many things that made Jerry...Jerry. Those memories and so many others are the one's that make me thankful that he was my big brother, my teacher, and friend. We miss him dearly :(

As a silent wind whispered across the air
I suddenly think back to when u were there
I remember ur face and ur beautiful laugh
What I wouldn't give to have one second back
Ur absencence is profound the hole you've left is so great
This is the one time I wish u would have been late....
I can't begin to express my anguish still today
what I wouldn't give to be able to call my tio just to hear him say...
Talk to me.....lol
He is my inspiration when wake up every day
When I look at the world I try to think about him n how he gave so freely to all he encountered.....I love u tio and save me a spot on ur right hand side ....love ur niece osita

Jerry Bear its getting easier to say your name or think of you without that huge lump in my chest, that brings tears...I cried over the dumbest stuff the whole time we knew each other. I liked that sometimes I would look at your face and see the glint of a tear as well. I have loved your soul from the fist day. Its your birthday again. What I remember the most is you made a bigger deal about others birthdays than your own.I hope your not giving the angels a hard time up there, I can hear it now " come on! Get aggressive" I love you J, I know your watching over me, I smell your cologne sometimes... Always in my thought and memories. I will see ya when I'm lookin at ya. When I go to stand before the lord..I know you'll be there...Try not to be to late. I would write in spanish if I could Much love my love...Katie aka Buckwheatous Jan 2015

It had been a long time comeing (Jerry rode shotgun in his 64 Galaxi). I felt like it was the end of an era when it was all said and done, but I was happy to see jerry's beautiful friends who attended. thank You All.

This is a picture from July, 2011. The last time we got to spend time with my brother, and of course the picture is not complete with-out his signature "rabbit ears". From L to R- Tachito, Mama, Casandra my daughter and of course our beloved brother. Rest in peace my brother.

When Christ Comes

November 12, 2013

Someday, According to Christ, he will set us free. He will come back. In the blink of an eye, as fast as the lightning flashes from the east to the west, he will come back. And everyone will see him...you will, I will. Bodies will push back the dirt and break the surface of the sea. The earth will tremble, the sky will roar, and those who do not know him will shudder. But in the hour you will not fear, because you know him.   Thinking of you little brother.
