Johnny & Stella I pray that God will lead you to a place of peace, healing, and safety for yourself and your family. Regardless of how strong we may feel, we should be allowed to be weak sometimes. In the place of humility and a broken heart is where God awaits us & allows us the right to be a child again. He will lift you up. He will make a way for you where nobody can. He will direct your path. More importantly... if you ask Him... He will pour his never-ending love on you. His love is not like ours... it's much bigger and deeper than what we can fathom. I pray that He will bring you joy for your tears and bring you strength thru your weaknesses. Rest in Peace my dear friend Julian. Don't hesitate to call me if you need to talk. ???Melissa Rodriguez

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before anyone was ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you passed, but that you lived. And that your life gave memories too beautiful to forget.
Our condolences to the Family and Friends.

Having moved on didn't mean I'd forgotten.. I'm sad to hear that you are now forever gone from this earth. I feel for your family especially your children.. For it is them that will have that void that no one else will be able to fill.. You were one of a kind. God bless them and may you protect them from up above. I can't even understand why God has called on you so early in life..I can only thank him for letting me had the pleasure in knowing you. You will forever live in All our broken hearts & continue to make us smile with countless loving memories. To his immediate family .. Especially Angie & Stella.. I send my condolences .. And sorry I couldn't be there.. Even though God knows I wish I could have been. May God Bless

When those we love go away, they never really leave us; They are with us now wherever we are. Those whom we have cherished live on forever, for love wraps itself around the heart. Although it's difficult now, someday beyond our tears and all the world's wrongs; beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch, we shall understand... Julian you will be greatly missed you were taken too soon but forever in our hearts!!!!

Watch over my kiddos who loved you so much, Koa and Mirella.
