Today has been the hardest day since you left us. That's when I heard one of the horrible news in my life. Today 17yrs ago in Lake Conroe an angel went missing and not a day goes by that I don't find myself missing you more and more. You were the one that I ever looked up to and wanted to be. I love you always and forever Jesse "Chuy" Astorga Jr. I know that you're in great company in Heaven. Please continue to look after us and especially your children.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. I miss you so much Chuy. As the year's go by I am missing you more and more. You will forever be in our hearts. Just hope and pray that one day when my time is up God will call me and place me in Paradise with my love ones. Our chains will link again someday. Love and miss you Chuy!

Hi, Mr.Astorga. You haven't met me but I'm Emelie's friend. Whenever you look down from heaven for Emelie,where I know god is taking good care of you, you might see me. Emelie loves you with all her heart I can tell, believe me. Whenever she crys about you I always remind her You are here with her but she can't give you a hug yet. From what I've heard you're a great guy and later on I can't wait to met you. I love Emelie alot and when she is with me I promise to take care of her and have a great time.

Can't wait to meet you!

Is hard to think it is almost 2 yrs since you were taken away. Its still hard for me to see my life without you I miss you so much your warm smile your jokes I see so much of you with BJ and Emelie. Sometimes I think thats what keeps me sane. Its hard for me to live a life without one of my children I know you are looking down on all of us. I know your the angel on BJ & emelie shoulder. I see the pain in Delilah she still has a hard time dealing with the pain of you not here. We all miss you so very much.

Happy Birthday Chuy! You are truly missed bro. Thanks for all the time we shared and all the memories we made. We always had the best of times and I think of you every time I walk out of my house and remember all the fun we had on Everton St. It's amazing to see what a special person you were and the lasting impressions you made on people. Just the other day I unknowingly met one of your customers and I could tell by how his face lit up when I mentioned I knew you how much he admired you. He spoke so highly of you and it was a reflection of the wonderful person you grew up to be. Your spirit lives on! I pray God always watches over your family and keeps you near. I Love you Chuy!

The legacy of Jesse Astorga is alive and well. I am awed by the imprint of Jesse's unconditional love that he has left on his family and friends. He placed service to others above self, and brought tremendous vitality to the entire community. He walked a God centered life.

Happy Birthday my handsome star you would have turned 33. I miss you very much it still seems like yesterday. You are my first born heaven is so lucky to have such a wonderful angel. Till we meet again i love always your mom

Delilah Astorga

January 2, 2008

It's hard to imagine another year beginning without you...Some days if feels like it was just yesterday and other days it feels like it was a lifetime ago.

I still try hard to accept that being without you is God's will. Everyday I pray for understanding, peace and mercy. I watch our children grow into responsible, caring and generous individuals. All because they want you to be proud of the legacy you left behind. We include you in all our thoughts and prayers and look forward to the day we are all together again.

I have no doubt you would be proud of the little man you left behind. He's my rock and he reminds me so much of you. He's kind and gentle and determined to follow in your footsteps. He's wearing all of your clothes... right down to your boxers. I don't have the heart to tell him your shirts are still too big for him... he needs to feel you close, and I understand that because I still sleep in your t-shirts. Our princess is everything you hoped she would be. She has strong convictions and a heart of gold, she finds comfort in wearing your cowboy boots, we still keep them by the front door. She finally graduated from the tiny bike you put together for her. Santa brought her one for Christmas this year, however, no matter how shiny and new, it's just not the one her daddy gave her.... again, I can't convince her to let go, only she knows when she's ready to do so. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving me the best part of you... They no doubt are giving me all the beautiful tomorrows you promised.

No more good byes... Love never dies...

I miss you....

Chuy, I still think of you all of the time. We had great times on Everton St, I will always cherish those memories. You were the greatest kid I ever knew. I will always pray that the Lord Jesus will watch over your family. I look forward to the heavenly reunion of all of us. I love you Chuy and your family.

Happy Birthday Chuy! May all your wishes in Heaven come true! I miss you so much Bro! I thank God that he brought you into my life a long time ago and that we were able to share untouchable memories while you were here. You are who I strive to be like and not a day goes by that I don't wish I could see you or talk to you. Its been impossible to accept that you are gone and that I won't be able to spend more time with you. I will never forget the last few times we shared on your birthday last year and the weekend in Galveston fishing. Everytime I've been fishing since you been gone I feel you with me and I know you protect me when i'm on the water. The one thing I am most grateful for is that you knew that I love you and I guess that is the one thing that helps comfort my pain is that you always knew it. I Love You Chuy and I will never forget what a special person you were. May God always bless your family and always keep you near.

I just want to share a few great memories about Chuy when we lived on Everton st. 2nd Ward. I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Chuy and Jaime as they were growing up. I took Chuy, Jaime, Robert, Arnold, Peter, and Arthur to Astroworld, Spanky's pizza, movies, Baskin-robbins, Go-carts on the gulf fwy, and many other places. We did a lot of BBQing at me house when fajitas were 80 cents a pound. We all learned to play baseball at the Automatic power parking lot. Chuy could hit the baseball with authority at an early age. Chuy was the pride of East End LL. Chuy and my dad, Mr. C, beat Arthur and myself at a basketball tournament for first place at Park Place Baptist Church where I took Chuy and Jaime. I still remember Jesse's(Chuy's dad) come home whistle. Ruben and I were amazed at Chuy's ability to quickly learn things. Chuy was one to never give up. Whether it was sinking a basket or hitting the stop sign, he would keep trying till he hit it. At halloween, he would polish off bags of candy in minutes and come back to our house for more. I bribed Chuy and Robert to paint my room for Champburger. Chuy signed his name in my closet and his name is still there. I was so happy Chuy attended my wedding and we have him on video. Elena and I were able to attend Delilah and Chuy's. Their wedding was a beautiful event. But my greatest gift to Chuy and Jaime was showing them the love of Jesus. I love you alot Chuy and Jaime.

DELILAH AND KIDS,

I JUST WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE FOR YA EVERYDAY. DELILAH YOU AND JESSE WERE TWO PEAS IN A POT. THE STRENGTH YOU ARE DEMONSTRATING AT A TIME THIS HARD IS EXCEPTIONAL. SO DON'T WORRY D BECAUSE I TALK TO JESSE EVERY NIGHT AND LET HIM KNOW YA ARE DOING FINE. FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW ME I'VE KNOWN JESSE SINCE WE WERE 11 YRS OLD AND HE WAS THE ONE PERSON I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE LIKE. JESSE WAS SOMEONE WE SHOULD ALL TRY TO BE LIKE HE WAS ONE OF MY BESTFRIENDS, A MENTOR, A TEACHER, A UNCLE TO MY KIDS, A COUNSELOR, AND MOST OF ALL A BROTHER TO ME. IF ALL THE WORLD COULD BE HALF THE PERSON JESSE WAS THIS WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE. WELL BROTHA I BETTER STOP NOW THAT IS WHY I DIDN'T WANT TO SIGN IT IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE FOR YOU I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS. THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I PROMISE YOU THAT AS LONG AS I AM ALIVE YOUR FAMILY WILL NOT EVER NEED ANYTHING. I WILL DO MY BEST TO HELP DELILAH WITH ANYTHING SHE NEEDS, BJ AND ELOY WILL GROW UP TOGETHER AND NEVER FORGET ONE ANOTHER JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS SAID THEY WOULD AND OUR PRINCESS(EMILEE) WELL SHE JUST HAS HER WAY WITH TIO ELOY, BUT I'M NOT AS BIG AS A SUCKER AS YOU ARE FOR HER FLUTTERING EYES. WELL REST IN PEACE CHUY JUST DOING WHAT YOU WOULD DO FOR ME I LOVE YOU BRO AND I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU SEE ON JANUARY 10 SO WE CAN PARTY.

To the man I married,

Not only were you my loving husband, you were my best friend. The memories of our loving, laughing, caring, sharing, accepting and forgiving is what will help me find strength, wisdom and peace.

No person or experience will ever replace the happiness or love I have for you. You gave me beautiful yesterdays and our children will give me beautiful tomorrows. I have comfort in knowing God reached for your hand and led you home and now our children will have you as their guardian angel.

I’ll never forget your smile, your tears, your voice, your laugh or your warm heart. You have changed me forever. I’m so very proud of you and thank you for loving me.



HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!



My heart will remain forever yours...

Well it's been a few weeks now and I still can't believe that you're gone. I'm still waiting for you to call and invite me country dancing, like you always did. I know my life will never be the same without you in it. I want to thank you for being a great friend, for all the wonderful memories we shared, as kids and as adults, and for always filling my life with peace and happiness. I'm so proud of you for becoming the man, husband & parent you became. I always admired how you lived your life for your family. As an athlete you always amazed me with your determination, dedication and sportsmanship. May the Lord bless and keep your soul as well as your family. You were truly a gift from God that I will cherish every day of my life. I Miss You & I Love You Chuy. My thoughts & prayers are with you Delilah, BJ, Emelie, Blanca, Jaime, Monica and Andy.

I go to Waltrip and I continue to stand at shortstop and look over to secondbase and your not there. In my heart you'll ALWAYS remain. Life is so meaningless when someone you love is gone. But Glory be to God that He promises me that I'll see you again.Can't wait to see you in heaven and have that long awaited catch.Your missed but never forgotten. When I look at my daughter I think of the father you were and when I hug my wife I think of the husband you were. Thanks for being an example.

I feel like Chuy was more like a brother to me than a cousin. . . We spent a lot of time together as children and I regret that I couldn't spend more time with him as an adult. Being the farthest away living in California made it hard. I will always cherish our childhood memories: playing in the flooded street on Everton; walking to get snow cones; hanging out all summer long when I would come to visit. I love you very much, Chuy. You will always have a special place in my heart.

Adine Barber

I only met Jesse a few months ago when Mike and him began to play on the same softball team. There was not many games that I missed and in that time I have seen him be a loving Dad, an awesome ball player and a good friend to everyone. Our prayers are with the entire family and he will forever be remembered.

To the Astorga Family,



My condolences go out to your family in this time of sorrow. It's been awhile since I seen or talked to Jesse but my memories are still very colorful. We use to be teammates playing football at Waltrip and I know I could always count on him. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones as I remember his life and honor his immerse contributions to making an impact on everyone's lives.

I remember Jesse and Jaime from elementary school. I know this is one of the hardest moments in your life, I would like to encourage you to hold on to God's promises right now more than ever.

I'm sure Jesse was an awesome husband, father, brother and friend.

He is not in your past, he is in your future. To be absent from the body is to be present with Christ. I will continue to pray for the family.

Jesse was loved by all. He has touched so many lives in every way. He was a great person. We often ask the queston WHY but Jesse was called home to be with the Lord at a very young age. He is now an ANGEL in heaven watching down on all of us. He will always be remembered for being a such a GREAT PERSON. He always had open arms for everyone. Jesse never met a stranger. My family has many cherished memories that we will always and forever remember Jesse. He is an ALL-STAR and MVP in our memories. May God bless and embrace those in this time of sorrow and heal the pain that we are all feeling. Jesse will be missed but never forgotten.
