Jose, not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you! Things are so much different since you've been gone and I know they will never be the same. Nobody was prepared for a loss like this and it hurts more than you know. I know you are up there having the time of your life, care free and happy but we sure do miss you down here. Continue to watch over all of us and help ease our pain. I will always cherish all the good times we had and the many memories I have of you. Love your favorite cousin, Dre

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, and that Jose "Weasel" will always be remembered. May he rest in peace!
