The last time I saw tio Juan was when he came down to Laredo with almost everyone to pick up grandpa. I told him bye inside the house and had this strange urgency to go outside and give him a hug again and this time take all the love, sensation and natural humanistic bond all in to the core of the soul. I don't know if anyone is going to understand or believe but i believe I have this little something God gave me, so many people call it diffenert things. At that instant it was as if something whispered into my soul and said, " you are not going to see him in person again after this so go give it your all again and talk." So while everyone one was still saying their goodbyes I crept out and saw him standing by the open car door and stood there with him. A second later he reached out and gave me another hug and said, "I need to come down and see you guys more often." When I found out that he was in the hospital that was the first thing that came to mind. I couldn't stop thinking about it the whole time he was there in the hospital because I wondered if he was every gonna get the chance or if it was gonna be something I was going to struggle with because it never happened. A bit afterwards maybe around that time of the funeral I thought about it again, one last time. I once again got that whisper in my soul and this epiphony or moment or clairty sunk in and said, "he loved and cared about you all very much because all his care and emotion went into that one response that he shared with you that day." "I need to come see you guys more often." He loved us and that's all that matters to me. He may or we may not have traveled so much back and forth to go see one another due to whatever reasons but that never stopped us from being family, helping or loving one another no matter what. I have all the respect in the world to my aunt kathy and my cousin because they represent strong and courgagous women who stand carrying faith.

I will always remember my brother Juan with a warm smile every time I would visit. This wonderful man did so much for me when I was growing up.He cared for me,put a roof over my head,kept me safe,scoled me when I needed it,bought me clothes for school,kept me fed. Wiped my tears when I would cry. Would spoil me when he could. Would help me when I needed it.Yet he never complained. His love was always unconditional. Although he is gone I miss him with all my heart. He will never be forgotten I will carry Juan in My heart and all thoughs beautiful memories forever.
GOD BLESS MY BIG BROTHER

i will always love you dedication to uncle juan

when god wrapped his arms around you to take you home
i knew it was never going to be the same
my tears were so hard to tame
i didnt want him to take you from me
but i knew it was time

no matter how long you will be gone you will always be in my heart
i will always love you i even loved you from the start
i will always miss the times we had together
and the love we had for each other

when God whispered in your ear "son come home with me "
i always think he was being so selfish of himself
because he was taking you away from me
but i knew he wasnt going to be by himself
angels will be by his side all the time
listen to me when i say this
i will always love you

I saw my beloved brother Juan suffer while he was in the hospital and I felt useless and helpless to do anything to stop it. I saw my beloved sister-in-law Cathy faithfully by Juan's bedside on a daily basis, for months, physically becoming worn out. But I trust God, have faith in God, and I knew that Juan and Cathy's unshakeable love and faith for God drew God to Juan's bedside. I knew Juan was in God's hands and God was telling him, "Juan, My good and faithful servant." Had it not been for this, my brother passing would have been too much for me to bear. But God gave me patience, comfort, and Juan is now surrounded by love in the presence of Jesus. Juan is physically gone but his memory will remain with me forever and the love I feel for him will endure in my heart always. My thanks to everyone who has shared. Jose Enrique Barraza

I will truly miss Uncle Juan. When I was a little girl, he would always pick me up and call me "chaquita" and I grew older, he would come over and play basketball with us. When I became grown, he was always there when I needed him. During Thanksgiving, he was the first for the food and he ended with numerous games of pool. We will miss him.
