Marie and family,
I am sorry to hear about Jorge. I worked for him at B&W and he was a good boss and great friend. I will never forget how he helped me with a more flexible schedule after my daughter was born so I could be at home more. You could tell how he felt about the importance of spending time with family. He was a great person! You and your family are in my prayers.

I worked with Jorge when he was in the Electronic Shop at B&W, but we both moved on to other things at the plant and I only saw him a couple of times since then. I only very recently learned that he was sick, and am shocked to learn of his passing. He was always cheerful and called me "Rick, baby". I believe that he is now helping Christ to prepare a place for you all. See you when we get there Jorge.

Marie,

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Saavedra. It was a great pleasure to meet you both. I really didn't know much about Jorge, but through his illness I got to know a little about you. I saw the love & care you (and Julia) gave to him. I also know first hand that you made sure care was given to him by me and my co-workers. On third shift we don't meet and form friendships with the patients families but you made that easy for us to do. I pray that you and your family allow his memory to help you in the days ahead. I know your faith in Christ will continue to hold you up. My prayers are with you at this time.
