Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
My Jessie, my heart, my son, your sudden passing and just finding out a week ago that you passed has caused an immense and excruciating pain in my heart and to the pit of my soul. I can’t believe that you are gone.
You sacrificed and suffered to the bitter end for the love of Jesus and your children, my son. I am so proud of you.
I can’t believe I won’t hear your voice or that contagious laugh again. I thank God that He saved you from the evils of this world. And Merciful God Almighty promises that I will see you again………..I hope it’s soon. Come quickly Lord Jesus so I can see my baby again.
Rest in Jesus’ loving arms, son! I love you for all eternity!
I am honored to always be your mama! Lena Ruth Salazar
To all my grandchildren; I am truly sorry for the loss of your father. Just remember that I truly loved your dad, and how he chose to die was his choice, and nothing you could ever do will change that. Just try to be a better person DON’T LET HISTORY repeat its self….Love Grandpa
“What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget”
Rest In Peace Jessie. We love you and miss you!

To my brother, the one brother I was so close to as if we were twins. Ooo how I miss you. I’m sooo sorry life got in the way of us staying in contact. On March 26, 2020 I was also on life support but I guess the good Lord still needed me here. We lost Brandon in February and then you in March. This time of year will always be a tough time for us all. We know you are in a much better place with no pain. I can’t wait to see you again. I love you with all my heart❤️
