My sweet Jerrybear left us to be with his Heavenly Father a year ago. I still can not believe he is gone. Everyday we miss him and everyday I wonder what questions he is pressing upon God. Jerry was always asking questions - always seeking to know more. I know God still has plans for him and I feel his presence everyday. Jerry was so complete in being a husband and father I know he watches over us daily still - he always will.
I want to thank everyone around us for the support and love given throughout this year(and through his illness)Your love and caring have been what has sustained us and allowed us to start to come through our grief and dispair.
If you knew Jerry - you know he was such a huge "hugger". He wrapped his arms around us daily and told us how much he loved us - now he does it with wings

I just like to say something on my Uncle's behalf.To me Uncle Jerry was like a brother,although in God's eyes we are all brothers and sisters.He meant no harm what so ever.He was the kind of guy who would do favors for you whenever you needed it.I wish I could see my great Uncle one more time and tell him how much I love him and miss him.I might of not saw my Uncle much,but I felt his heart as much as he felt mine.That's all I have to say.
Yours Truly,
Daniel Cedillo

Jerry wasn't only my uncle but he was also my godfather. He was someone who I looked up to because he was so tall and because he was such a good person. What impacted me the most was that he was always in a good mood, and if you were around him, you couldn't help but to be in a good mood as well, no matter how bad your day was or how mad you were. He was just an all around good person, and everyone loved to be around him. I miss his jokes, and funny faces he would make at the dinner table, church, and even when he was sick. I just can't wait until we meet again in heaven.

As you all may remember, today March 5th, 2006, marks exactly a year since my brother's passing to his heavenly home. My brother touches me daily through fond memories of our experiences together, the joys which always brought laughter (sometimes even with tears), and also saddening thoughts of what life will be like without my bro. My brother's passing has been a devastating experience over the last year. He knew me as a person more than anyone else on earth. We had that natural sense of understanding. Whether it be with a look, the sound of a sigh, or just silence - we knew what eachother were thinking or how eachother felt. Jerry was a gift to all who associated themselves with him. If you didn't know him - you wanted to. He just had that energy. I do miss him so and am looking forward to when we can both rock the neighborhood again! For those who think of his suffering last moments - don't. My brother was much more than that. He is now our personal saint - believe that. We are currently in the Lent season and this morning's mass the Father said to look for our Lord's presence in our everyday. Find the blessings brought to you from above. Well, that statmt sounded so familiar. I think it's because I find myself thinking of Jerry almost all the time. Sometimes I think: "Jerry would agree I'm doing the right thing", or "Jerry, can understand why I have to be hard on these kids."
Marsha, my hat's off to you. You were the best for my brother in more ways imaginable and those beautiful angels yall had together, well, enough said. You all are Life's best creations. Anytime you need anything, I'm here.
Mom n Dad, you couldn't have done any better raising us all. I Guarantee - Jerry feels the same. You both raised great, strong-hearted, intelligent, spiritual, good-natured kids. We fed off of that and are now feeding the rest of the world. Great job Mom n Dad!
Connie, I love you girl. You're always my lil baby sis - just as Lumpy is. (inside joke) Randy, Aaron, Justin, Luke, Jacob, and Bellita - truly my heart's desire.
Eric, my lil bro, keep it real. Jerry would be proud. You are on your way. No matter where we are, I'm there for you.
Grandmas, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Extended Family, Friends of Jerry's, etc...- yall have been great! Your support throughout this past year has been a blessing. Thanks to everyone for your support. Truly heart-felt.
