The Salazar family would like to express their deepest condolences to the Miranda Family in the time of their loss.
We would also like to reach out to Juanita and Anthony who, like jesse were more like family than friends.
I had Jesse's respect and friendship,while you had his love and kindness.
I recall Jessie in a soft leather chair
Still in his wrinkled shirt and tie with that far away stare
We talked of family and responsibilities too
Of what we wished that we could do
His soft voice would crackel from time to time
When he would speak of things closer to his heart than his mind
Shoe less he sat talking into the night
Of doing things better,or doing things right
I recall he was holding his head on the arm of the chair
When I noticed that he really wasn't there
For my friend Jesse had fallen asleep
I place a blanket on him and I left without a door creek
Up the block and all alone
I walked until I was home.
Now he has left us quietly and on his way
To his waiting family and I'm sure they will say
Prepare and Don't worry my son for life never really ends
One day it will be your turn to guide your family and friends
Good by my friend i will miss you deeply
Jose',Maria,Felicia,Antonio
