Jaime, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You were so kind and generous and you were always happy. I could always come to you for advice and you were one of my favorite cousins. You taught me to be a strong woman and to never let a man take advantage of me. I'm married now and I have a beautiful baby girl and I wish you could be here to see her grow up. I know she would have loved you and you would fall for her as well. We will see you soon primo. Rest in Peace.
Sergio, Christy, Tio Alejo, Tia Leticia lo siento tanto que han perdido a alguien tan especial como Jaime. Todos lo queriamos mucho. Que descanse en paz.

Jaime Just last week we were talking about how you were going to go to move to Mexico and I said you were going to
marry a beautiful Mexican lady who would be a good cook and give you more babies than I had. And how you and I were going to open up a non-profit together. I wish you were still here.
