Dearest Dorina, Matthew and Brian, Jr. and family, It was with a heavy heart that my family and I had to say Good Bye on this earth to my dear and only brother. You have always been kind and loving to me, and cared greatly for Cesar and our children/grandchildren. You will be remembered and we look forward to being together again in Heaven. I am very proud of your military service, your fine job with Northwest Airlines for 29 years and your work with young prisoners in Miami for the past several years. Your dedication to Jesus and his message of salvation adds value to all that you accomplished in this life. Lovingly, Jocelyn
