To Iris and family,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. We know how much you loved your husband and we know how much you suffered. Now Jose can rest in peace, knowing that in his life he married a wonderful person. Jose had a good wife in Iris, and the man who finds a good wife, finds a treasure and has obtained a favor from the Lord.
May you rest in peace, God bless you.

I am a friend from Elizabeth City, where I met Jose and his lovely wife Iris. My condolences to his wife and family. I moved from E. City and lost communication and contact with them. His passing was a total shock, but his comfort will be remained by Iris, his wife. I hope this honorable Coat Guard man can come to his final rest.
