Everyone at Stern Empire misses Jason & Enedelia. I remember going to their apt to watch the Astros play, have some beers and bar-b-q.

They were the first deaf people I had met, Jason taught me sign language when I met him at work.

Enedelia kept to herself and Jason was more of a joker with friends at work. Always talking sports.

We will miss you greatly!!!

God Bless.

Dear Jason Buckelew & Enedelia Benavidez,

"When the moon is not full, the stars shine more brightly." That is when I was thinking of you both - "While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die." This is the most tougher moments as I know I am losing both of my good dear friends. Only thing I only know that you both are in God’s hands now. I did not get any chance to say something to you. Now, I just wants to say last words to you both - GOOD BYE.

God can't make mistakes or change his mind. It's not in his nature.

To Jason. B.

This is out of my hands now. But I will be praying for you..



God sends angels for many things. Sometimes to help with life and Sometimes to help with death.



No matter what you've done. God love you. He wants to take away the hatred you feel for yourself. He wants to help you set things right.

Jason,

We were in same trail since 1992. At first, it was at Gallaudet Univeristy and we partied together with peers. In 1993 to 1994, we lived in same city (Austin). Then we went to SWCID together with peers from 1994 to 1996. Again, we lived in Houston after 1997. Again you moved back to Austin in 2000. Then you moved back to Houston again. We bumped onto each other at any events, parties and friends' places. It will be weird for not having you around in future. I always remember you, Jason and your girlfriend, Ene.
