Jose,

Looking down from up above while I look above from down below I realize what a friend you were to all of us here. You inspired many people with potentials and work ethics and laughter. We will miss you.

To Jose's Family:

There are not enough words to say, we will miss him, his smile and his warm maner.I can not imagine the pain you are going through loosing such a fine young man. I had the pleasure of being in the same class as Jose at Empire College. It will not be the same without him. I truely believe he was the most universally liked person in our class. I am old enough to be his grandmother, yet he always had a nice word and wonderful smile. I will pray for you all, especially his mother and Esme.
