Jesus,

I just want to say how honored I am to have known you. You and your family have made me rich with the things that really matter. I remember the first time I met you, I felt incredibly intimidated. You were such a handsome, poised and proud man. You were hard to read but there was laughter in your blue eyes.

I only wished I had spent more time at your house with you and you lovely sisters: Jenny, Ester and Concha and the rest of your family. I am a richer person after knowing your family. The environment you created in your home taught me what a family is and how to really be present for my own very fragmented family. I learned from the Navarros what is real and what doesn't matter. I will never forget you or your family. You are a great man thus you were surrounded by great people.

Javier always wanted you to be proud of him. Many of the paintngs he did were for you or influenced by you. In fact I will never forget him working on them in my living room. I was so touched by his dedication. Javier loved you so much, you were a great inspiration to much of his work--both paintings and sculpture. Javier took much influence from his religous upbringing and the morals and high standards that you have.

I hope you know that I love you son, Javier and I always had him in my heart. Thank you so much for being such a great father and human being.

I would also like to offer my condolences to the entire Navarro family. I was so honored to have the opportunity to walk thru the last week with everyone. You all have touch my life in a way that I will always be grateful for.

Hi. I want to tell my mother Jessie Delgado that she is a woman I am proud of. She spent countless hours at my grandfathers side during his last months with us. Mom, I am positive that Grandpa Navarro is very proud of you as well. He has to be, you are very special... I have alot of memories visiting my grandfather quite often as a young boy. I am happy to say that he joined me and my wife on our wedding day. I am also very happy that I had a Christmas Breakfast with him the first of this year. I happened to be off work that day and decided to join at the last minute. My Grandpa was one of a very few people who still called me John Boy everytime he saw me no matter how old I was. I will miss you Grandpa. I know alot of people will miss you. I know you are in a peaceful place. You will forever be in my heart and my thoughts. To my Mom, Tia Nena, and Tia Suzie - I love you all and I am sorry. I will be here for you during this hard time. During this time we need eachother.

In my prayers always,
(Bayba's oldest son)

Dear Tia Jessie, your three sons, Tia Suzie, and family - I can't even begin to think about losing either one of my parents, even though recently, for one year I lost complete connection with my beloved mother. It was one of the most down times of my 28 years of life, my heart was empty and nothing but Jesus could fill me. Fortunately for me, in the last few weeks, God has blessed me by bringing my mother back into my life. Rekindling our relationship and reflecting on our memories is the best thing to have happened yet. Although my temporary loss comes no where near close to yours, my thought to you is this: to keep your father's presence alive, you must keep ALL of your memories and thoughts of him.... ALIVE IN YOUR HEART. May God fill you.....and His everlasting love bring you serenity and hope at this time. I LOVE YOU. With all of my heart, KAT OXOXO

For my dear sweet mother~in~law Jessie, her siblings, family and extended family...my condolences to all of you but most of all my prayer to you...May the Lord bless you in this time of sorrow. May the Lord open your eyes during this time and help you to discover the blessings that surround you. The blessings of having one another. The Lord has brought your family together in a way that makes you stronger and closer than ever before. Out of the darkness there is light, the light of newly formed relationships, the kind that make you laugh, the kind that make you cry, the kind that make you feel good inside, the kind that you never knew you would have but now that you have them, you can't imagine being without. This is the gift that Jesus has left for his family. If that does not make you rich, I am not sure what would. May the new bonds that you have formed bring comfort to you always. The light is shining upon you now..do with it what is pleasing to the Lord. Your father would be proud.
May the Lord bless you and keep you always and for Jessie~ I love you.
With Deepest Sympathy,
April Delgado

Papa, we are going to miss you. I am now figuring out what type of man you were for so many people. I know for me you were positive and encouraging during the various situations in my life. Con muchu carino una "de la mas preciosas de todas tus hijas."
To my Siblings-stay strong. Look to God for comfort and strength. And now that Papa's illness has brought us much closer together let us remember that we now have each other. I love each and every one of you.
Your big sister,
Jessie
