I vaguely remember visiting my brother Jo-jo. I was just a boy. It stirs me to think of his passing.

Words alone seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel about Jose’s death. I can say I am writing this note with heartfelt thoughts of sympathy for his wife, his children, his siblings, family and friends.

As you grieve know that with warm personal regards I am remembering you and respectfully honoring the memory of Jose. I trust your hearts will soon find peace and comfort.

I still remember when Jose's family lived in Omaha Ne and how much we looked forward to seeing each others brothers & sisters. Most of what I remember about Jose was his smile and laughs. I didn't know a stitch of sign language yet we found a way to communicate.
We were all so proud of his accomplishments as a minister, a Father & Husband. All our love to Sherri & Family.
Please know you are in our prayers.
