Jonathan,
I think back on the day you were born and remember how happy and proud I was to be your mom. I miss you and know that you are in a better place. I will see you again someday and celebrate with you all the birthdays we have missed together.

Life is something. I keep you in my mind and heart, but would love to hug you one more time. I miss your humor and love I felt when you were around. I miss the talks and cries of life that we went through. I miss all about you. I know you are forever with me. I feel it in my soul. I love you and hope to see you again one day.

Wish there was a rewind button for life... there's not much that I would change ( Couple things for sure ) but I would want to rewind to when we were kids and did everything together.I havent forgot about you, I know you know that. Life gets more and more complicated as you get older. You always had the short answer for fixing something that was bothering me and I wish I could get that from you now. Like " Man up" or "Dont be scared" ( I altered that second word in case my kids should ever read this. ) Miss you my friend. I used to think that you got to take the easy route and the rest of us had it bad....but you should see my kids man. Best thing I've ever done;) See you again some day.
Love Cesar

Haven't commented here in a while but thoughts of you linger in my head daily. I miss you and wish you were here to see how much life has changed. Wish you were here to hold my kids and oh how I know they would look up to you. I will never be able to replace the friendship that we had. I love you brother.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
your love is missed daily

Jon,
I remenber all the times we would come over and our parents would be playing cards. You would always have us laughing and we would be having a great time. The things you would say and do cracked me up. I know God enjoys you as much now as much as we did then.
We love you and miss you.

Ever since I can remember I've always looked up to my brother. When I was younger, I was amazed at the pain he endured; yet never once shed a tear. He became an object of my admiration. As we became older, our competitiveness didn't seperate us, it actually sealed a bond and friendship that cannot be matched by anyone.
Jon was a person that no matter your mood, he could bring a smile to your face and reassure you everything would be okay. His smile alone brought comfort to people's lives. Everyone he met was his friend, in which he would give the shirt off his back if he knew it would make their life easier. He was a person who no matter your faults, would praise your name in any situation, and in return only wanted to be loved for the man that he was.
Although tone deaf, he proclaimed the title "Karoke King", which in itself was an example of his carefree spirit and attitude. He loved to be the center of attention, and more often than not, he was.
His humor, guidance, and most of all his friendship is irreplaceable and will be missed daily. I stand strong in my faith that one day he'll open the gates for me. Until then, I hold his memory close to my heart. I LOVE YOU, JON!
I'll see you when I get there.
"Here's to lookin like a movie star, partying like a rock star and ...."
Love,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jonathan Leonardo Hernandez, my second child born February 25, 1982 weighing 4 lbs 8 ozs couldn’t wait to enter this world. He arrived eight weeks early to make his mark on all of our hearts.
No matter what Jonathan did, it was always his way. Good, bad or indifferent, he wanted everyone to love him for whom he was. That’s how he returned his love; he loved everyone for who they were, and not what someone wanted them to be.
Jonathan never met strangers; he always said they are friends until he knew otherwise. I loved this trait about him.
The one thing I will miss most of all is his smile. No matter how mad I got at him (as his mom), his smile could melt my heart. I know that when we meet again, he will be smiling and holding his hands out to me as he did every time he saw me.
Until we meet again, I love you son.

Jonathan, you have always had a special place in my heart. I will miss our chats on the back porch and the laughing that we did. Samantha loves to bug you and I know that you will miss that =) We will meet again one day. It's still hard to believe that you are with our Lord above. You are our angel now so watch over all of us. Until we meet again...

I remember when I got married the night of my wedding Bucho came up to me, and gave me a bottle of Champaign.Well I was pregnant than, so I could not drink it and it has been sitting in my fridge since than an that was in October. I took it out the other day and said a little toast to my cousin.I miss you Bucho, I miss giving the first communion teacher lots and lots of trouble and I miss you rushing to my side when I needed help with a bully, and coming to my house for Thanksgiving because it was my first holiday to cook at my first house.May you rest in peace, and help us to get threw the tough times.Specially your mom and dad and brother and Sister and Anna too..

Carlos, Tresa, and family:
I was in shock at the loss of your son. It brought back the memories of that day when we found out our son was killed in an auto accident also. Please take time to grieve . do not let anyone tell you that they know how you feel UNLESS THEY HAVE HAD A CHILD DIE. This is the worse pain a parent will ever feel.
I wll tell you it gets better. I will tell you you will have good and bad days, and as time goes on the good out out number the bad. Take your time to feel those feelings.
THE LORD - in his wisdom - has chosen your son for one of his angels. We do not know nor will we ever really understand. I do know that the Lord loves each of his children and when he takes them home he knows and reminds us that they were given to us for a time.
I do not know if anyone has shared the poem about the CHILD OF MINE .. I will send it to you. It basically says the Lord chooses parents for HIS children. He gives them to us to love, train, nurture, etc. but reminds us that when he calls them home we can grieve but must go on. I READ THIS .. AND FELT
But Lord .. But then I remembered when the Lord saw his son on that cross and wept.
He really does love YOU and wants you to have peace and eventually understanding.
PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE LOVED. Know that WE are praying for peace and understanding for you and your family. Know we love you and are here for you if you ever need to talk or whatever. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
CALL IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO - even if it just to listen. Love ya
