It has been a long time since I have written in this book to you. But we still think and talk about you daily. Kayla will be having her 7th bday party this Sat. She is finishing her 1st year of CCD today, and she has lost 3 teeth in the past month. She is growing up so big and beautiful. She has long brown hair, tan, and thin.
We all still love you!

Jerry,
Another Xmas and another new year without you truly hurts our hearts that you are not here with us. If only you could hear us and see how much you really are missed. Especially for Kayla, Dorian and your mother.
We miss you more than anyone can know.

Today marks 1 year since you passed away. I dont even remember the time that you called since I was asleep. I know that you were tired and had a long day. I just wish that things had gone differently for everyone. I never thought that I would raise Kayla without you in this world. I just want you to know that she is good, being looked after by everyone. Today was the girls first day of school. I couldn't start their day off with remember today was daddy's last day on earth. I will tell them that afterschool. I took you red roses and two balloons. I will go back later with the girls so that they can leave you something too. We still think of you everyday and still wish things were different. We will Always love you and remember you forever!!!!!!
You will always be in our hearts!!!!
Love your family,
Kayla, Dorian, & Justine

It's been exactly a year since we last saw you. We celebrated 4th of July, danced and had a great time. That moment is now the last memory of you and the last to have seen you. That's all we have left now and yet I still think you'll be back soon. Lot's has changed since than. Kayla is now 5 and we got a pool for all the kids to swim in. We'll be taking them to bowling, than to swim in the back yard; and pop the fireworks we have left from that last 4th of July that you bought the girls. I'll make sure Kayla remembers whose fireworks their from: YOU! She misses you very much...if only you knew.
That's all we have now...is just your memory to keep you alive.
We'll remember you Jerry, for your laughter and smile.
We wait to see you again and we don't stop remembering your visit last year.
Love,

Just to let you know you're always on our minds!!!

Last night I sat out to sit and take in the breeze and watch the “stars” appear. Those stars are a constant reminder of where you are. With Jehovah God in his memory; awaiting to come back. It is those stars that keep you close to my heart and mind. I am at ease watching the bright stars knowing where you are. It’s not the way I would have ended your life story, but what can we do to change this?
It’s now eight months today Jerry and you are still missed even more and more because we know there is nothing we can do; except write in this journal to help us ease our mind and hearts. Everyday we keep your memory alive so Kayla doesn’t forget you. She knows where you are and she visits to remember you.
We miss you now, tomorrow and forever.
Love, Hernandez’s

Hi BABE,
Well today makes 8 months since YOU were Taken Away from US!!!

Sorry I haven't written in a while. Had some inconviences and dont really want to write about it here. Just wanted to say that We are doing fine. Last Friday was your mom's b-day and Joe, Mari, Pily, and Greg flew in and we had dinner @ Gladys' house. The ONE missing was YOU!!! Kayla wrote her name on your mom's card and I know that your mom wanted to cry but held back. I wish YOU were here with us.
Justine in getting sick, and both girls have 5 weeks left of school. I can't believe how the time has gone bye so fast. There are days when it still feels like the first day, and then there are days when it feels like You'll be home soon to be with US!!!!
I already turned in my application for graduation for STC.
We miss YOU so very much. I wish LIFE for US was so much easier!
Well Im gonna go for now. But WE always think of YOU, talk about YOU, still look at YOUR pics.
WE Love YOU with ALL OUR HEARTS!!! A/F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOUR WIFEY & DAUGHTERS

Hi BABE
I know that I haven't written to you here on this book in a while. I still keep up your myspace page and write in that too. Well Justine and Kayla are on their spring break. Justine is going to Reynosa with Melissa and it's just gonna be me and Mija. She was telling me last night she wants YOU! She says " I Want My DADDY!" Do you know how HARD it is to hear her say that and all I can say is " I know mija, me too!" Well today Justine will be doing a dance performance for her hip/hop class. And on March 31, 08 she will be having a choir performance for school. Your missing alot, YOu should be HERE with US!!!!
last weekend we went to the Livestock show and Kayla and Justine got on the bungee with the tramp/air mattress. She went really High. OMG I thought she was gonna cry, but she liked it and wanted to go again. She's like YOU try's everything, isn't afraid of anything, and likes almost everything. I get scared for her future somtimes but I know that YOU are watching her and will protect HER!!! I still miss you everyday, and still love YOU!!!
It's almost gonna be 7 months and Mija's birthday is coming up. Lots of things are passing the time and YOUR not here to be with us and see it. I wish time was on OUR side and I'd have you here with me!!!!!!!
Love
Your Wifey & Daughters

Today has been six months since we HAD to bury you. Everyday I can only imagine the turmoil YOUR mother is feeling just WAITING for you to call her. To think that she is just waiting and waiting makes me think just what this would do to me if this was my child. I can understand what she must be going thru but I can’t feel the “pain” or completely feel her emptiness. I think of her daily and try to “feel” her loneliness, when I pray for you, your mother and your siblings. I know nothing has changed. I’m sure many of us spend our entire day just thinking how we could have changed that Friday or maybe that summer.
I felt the need to write into this journal to help me ease the pain and my mind. Just knowing that you are NOT here is still very painful. I do not forget to think of you every day your are on my mind umpteen times a day! I think of you especially when I see Kayla and she talks about you. I will tell her she has to keep dreaming of you because she must remember you as she starts to realize you won’t be coming back to her. Jerry, we never forget you daily and I hadn’t had the courage to write an entry because it’s painful remembering. But it’s good to remember because we want you to know that we remember you ALL THE TIME. Kayla is just growing and I’m waiting to see if she will be as tall as you. Spring break is coming and we will miss you even more because we can’t share pictures with you to see her. But we will save them in an album for her so she can talk to you. Jerry, we love you still and miss you in ways that words can not explain. Forver.

Dearest Jerry,

Four months have now come and gone. It’s hard to believe the time that has passed and even harder to still accept you are not coming back. Every month is just as hard as the month before. I try to visit you every chance I get. I took you a Christmas balloon since you are not here to be with us; to help us “see” that you still are with us in our minds and heart.

Not a moment in my day goes by that I don’t think of you and pray for you; your family and Dorian and the kids. I want to catch time and hold it, for I don’t want TIME to move forward. I keep dreading the day that the “annual” day has to come. That’s why I want to stop time!

I pray and pray for GOD to get us out of this bad dream! Early in the mornings, I visit the stars to see you up there and think….if only we all had one last chance to talk to you before that fateful night…could things have turned out different? I miss you terribly for the sake of everyone’s mental health and the pain everyone has. I pray for strength to endure the anguish that you are not here and to help us all make it thru the day.

I stopped to wonder what you would have wanted this Christmas and remembered what I bought you last year. The presents I bought you that I didn’t have a chance to give you and now what do I do with them? I think I will save them for you when we see you again. I made sure that the girls had a good Christmas this year. Fireworks will not be the same without you to make you laugh and make Kayla laugh. She really, really, needed you Jerry! She really depended on you to guide her and show her how to like foods and make decisions about choices in life. Not a playful time goes by that Kayla doesn’t remind me of a good memory you made with her. I try to repeat her memories so she can keep them alive and keep remembering you in her dreams, for that’s all she will have now.

Jerry, we miss and love you; and all that we do, please know that it’s done in your remembrance. Good night dear Jerry.

Hi BABE,
I just wanted to say that I love you with all my heart always. I miss you so much, the girls miss you and love you alot. We think about you everyday. We visit you everyday. Not a moment goes by that we talk about you, think about you, see you in our dreams, pictures, memories. I want things to be better for the girls. You were the only thing good in my life besides the girls. I lived for you and now I can't live without you. This pain I carry and will always carry will NEVER go away. I try not to cry, but when little things come up, like old songs, movies, foods, drinks, everything is so hard to not think about YOU. I know that WE need to be strong especially for Kayla. I can't do this alone. I need you to make ME stronger. I need YOU by my side always. Today is 3 months that MY heart got broken. It will never be fixed!!
LOVE
YOUR WIFEY & DAUGHTERS

Jerry,
I would like to tell you thanks for looking out for all of us. I know times are very difficult for all of us right now. I know you can hear all our prayers, all our tears, we miss you dearly and really wish this was all a bad dream. All I ask is that you look in on us from time to time and make sure we are doing okay. We all need you bro. and in turn we will help you out to. Till we meet again,...always 5 of us!

Jerry, My BROTHER!!!
What can I say...this is so difficult...I still can't believe it! It's been a few months now and I am just getting the strength to write to you. I know that you know how we are all feeling and you don't want us to be like this. Everything is so BLURRY and EVERYONE is so FAKE, everyone is so empty without you here with us. I wonder what you’re doing always and can only imagine where you are now. I am so Lost without you bro. I Know you see Everything that’s going on right now. I mean nobody told me what to feel, what to say...only you can take all this pain away!! I get a lot of empty words from people that think that they know you, but no one knows you like I Do! I know you lived your life the way you wanted to. No Regrets!! I miss you so much man!! Thank you for visiting me in my dreams your always on my mind heart and soul. We had some good times, some bad time but we can never be torn apart. As I said before a brother’s love...is a brother’s love! You know that I was always there for you, no matter what, as you were always there for me. We knew not to take any BS from anyone. We are the Reyna Brothers always. I check in on Kayla every once in a while so don't worry! Now even though you’re gone, were still a team. I reminisce our great times we spent together. Our memories give me the strength I need strength I need to believe. I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I would give anything to hear half of your breath now even though your gone I know you’re living your life after this. I know you’re in heaven smiling down watching us while we pray for you. Everyday we pray for you. I know that one of these Mornings when my life is over I will be rejoined with you, but till that day bro in my heart is where I keep you. Every day that passes is a day that I get closer to be with you. So save me a good spot.

Jerry,
Guess what: It’s November already and life is just passing you by. I think a lot of “what if’s” –what ..... would you and Dorian be doing or planning for this month??? What would your plans have been for coming home to see your family and come see us, even if it’s just for a little while or a few days. Maybe, you’d catch up on what’s new with friends and see what’s new and growing all around town! You wouldn’t recognize McAllen and you’d be SOOOO surprised at how much is popping up around town.

I still feel that this is a very bad dream. I’m still waiting for you to call home. Halloween came and Kayla was Ariel (little Mermaid) and she looked great in her red hair like Ariel. Justine was a punk rocker.
You missed it all, Jerry! How I wish and wish for you to PLEASE come back! We went to Tony Roma’s to eat and Dorian got your favorite plate of food. The girls had fun and only YOU were missing so we could at least send you pictures!
It just isn’t the same with out you Jerry. Nothing is.
Please know that we ARE always thinking of you and miss you ALL day long!

Hi BABE,
I just wanted to say HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY!! I know that your not here for us to tell you and celebrate this day with you. I wish that you were, cause I had been planning to throw you a surprise party for this day. I know that we hardly get to make this day just for YOU cause we always take the kids trick-or-treating, but I wanted to make this B-day special this year. So even though your not here we're gonna try to still make it special for YOU, the girls, and Joe.
I miss you so much. There gonna say YOUR name on the radio today. You know that I was always calling on your B-day. I love you & wish YOU were here right now!!!!!!!!!!!
If only wishes and dreams really came true, YOU'd be the first one on everyone's list. Hope you have a good day where your at.
With LOVE
YOUR WIFEY & DAUGHTERS

Jerry,
It’s now two months and we still wait for you to call or to come back “home” to visit. But, the very thought that you are not here; and the reason you are not here, is so hard to accept. Only thing is: You are home. We just can’t talk to you, hug you and you can’t hear us tell you how much we miss and love you.
We all probably thought (and took for granted) that you would always be near us all and only just a short distance away whenever anyone has a special celebration to participate in; we still wait for you to come home: and how I wish that every day.
Now, your 29th birthday is fast approaching, and your being gone from our lives is felt so strong. Especially, since Halloween is almost here and you are not here to see Kayla and Justine in their costumes; the joy isn’t the same without you being here to see the girls have to participate in an event where you can’t see, hear or touch them and hold them. They miss you so much and even though they visit you at your new home, they are left wondering why they can’t see you and why you’re not coming back.
How do we explain? I still pray for a miracle; I can’t let go of the fact that you are not here. Your absence is a strong presence that hits hard everyday and we want nothing more than to get a call from you and say, “I’m here”.
I’m still waiting to have you here to have dinner with you and Dorian and the kids. I still remember 4th of July and the fun we had as a big family. Wish you could be here for New Years and finish the rest of the fireworks we had leftover in July, dance around to the 80’s music and the “globe light” works that made you laugh at me!
Miss you a lot Jerry; if only you could be here and let me make you laugh at me again!
We love you very much! I wait to see you again soon to tell you.

Hi BABE,
I just wanted to send you a message since today marks the 2 month anniversary of your death. I wish things didn't happen this way. I wanted to grow old with you. I was the one that was supposed to spend the rest of YOUR life with. I bought you some Red Carnations and took them to you this afternoon. Your mom, sisters and I will be visiting you then going to 7pm Mass. I love you & miss you alot. The girls miss you & love you too. You will always be in our hearts, minds, prayers, and dreams. You will always be apart of our everyday lives forever. I love you BABE!!
Love

BABE,
I wanted to write to you and tell you how the ONE most important thing missing this past Saturday @ Joe's wedding was YOU!!! I cried a few times during the ceremony. I cried some more @ the reception. Thinking of all the things WE would have done if YOU were HERE! All the songs they played, Mija dancing, the guys acting goofy as always. I missed you that whole night. I miss you EVERDAY!!!
I wish with all my heart that this was still a bad dream. Wishing that you would call me. I look at my phone every minute waiting and wishing for you to call me. Only to be reminded when I look @ the date that it's not going to happen. These next few days are going to be hard for us. Mija is starting to talk to you everytime me and her are alone @ the cemetary. She misses you and she tells you that she loves you!
Justine misses you too. She wishes that this was a bad dream too. There are times when she comes to me asking if it's true that YOUR not coming home anymore!!! My heart breaks everytime. I love you always and forever. Never forget that!!!
Love Your WIFEY & DAUGHTERS

Friendship will always live. Although short, but very impactful. The experience that we all had with you will be with us forever. God Bless Carnal!

September 26, 2007

Jerry,
It’s hard to believe that a whole month has come since you’ve left us. Seems like only yesterday we got the worst news ever of our lives! We still can’t believe this HAS happened and I pray hard EVERYDAY that there has been a terrible mistake and at any moment, you will call Dorian to tell her to come pick you up. I see you looking for her and the kids, and you’re trying to find your way back home. I’m waiting to wake up from this nightmare! But, than the call doesn't come and a visit to your new "home" brings us all back to reality.

Jerry, none of us can find comfort in the words of friends, meaningful as they are; sincere as they are; those words CAN NOT replace you. We keep your memory very close to our hearts and minds, because we are waiting to wake up from this bad dream!

For this reason, the love that we ALL have for you and to keep finding comfort that you are very close to us, I want to keep your memory alive and so real. For Dorian and the kids and for your loving family, of which I am very fond of; I’m keeping this online guestbook opened for them and you! That we continue to find comfort in each others thoughts and to share the love we ALL have for you.

I will continue to pray to Jehovah God to strengthen us all, because we can’t make the day without HIM helping us. This whole new CHANGE in our lives has been difficult. Everyday is nothing but a struggle and we can’t find joy in our daily lives like before, just knowing that you are missing from this family!

Blad and I will continue to help and care for Dorian and the kids and participate actively with them, to help them as they grow. It just kills us to know that you are a piece of the puzzle missing. To know that you will miss Kayla's parties and school activities, is hard for Dorian and for us, but by being active with them, may it bring us joy that we are taking care of your family for you until we meet again.

What short time you had here with us, you will LIVE forever in our hearts and minds. I know someday in GOD’s future plan, we await to be with you again.

With the utmost deepest and sincerest love, Cindy Hernandez.

Dear BABE,
Well it's been a long yet quick month, it still feels like yesterday when I found out that you were in an accident. The moment I heard what really happend tore me apart. I haven't been the same nor will I ever be. The girls are the only thing keeping me going with the help of the family, yours and some of mine. I sometimes feel like your still at work we just can't talk. But everyday that we go to visit your grave really hits home and that's when I come to reality. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to YOUR daughter "KAYLA" everyone is helping to watch over her, and to protect her the way you would. She is going to miss out on so much when things come up to have her "father/daughter" moments. And it KILLS me to know that. I miss you so much it hurts, and the girls miss you too. We will ALWAYS LOVE YOU with ALL our Hearts! I love you BABE. You are "my love" and NOTHING will change that!
Love your
WIFE (DORIAN REYNA) A/F
DAUGHTERS (KAYLA & JUSTINE)
We will all be together again someday soon. I Love you!!!

My dearest baby brother,
Today is September 25th. 1 month ago my heart was shattered to pieces. I haven't been able to put it back together again. I don't know that I ever will. I feel so empty. I miss you so very much! The day they buried you, they buried a piece of all of us with you. Please know that you remain in our hearts and on our minds every second of every day! We are watching your precious angel "Kayla", and she will always be taken care of. We know she was the love of your life. Joe & I are her Godparents now and that makes me very happy. I miss you & love you very much!

Your Sis,
Ofelia (Pily)

My dearest little one:

Just thought I would leave you another note to let you know that we are all still walking around in a daze - we all feel an emptiness that only your being with us could fill. There isn't a moment that has gone by since you left us that we haven't thought about you. You are the first thought in our minds in the morning and the last one before we go to sleep at night.

You left us so many beautiful memories - and yet we can't stop asking ourselves why you're not here with us to create more memories.

We all love you and miss you more than you can imagine - and will shower your precious angel "Kayla" with all the love we have for you

You will remain Forever in our hearts - Forever "5"!

Luv your sis
Gladys

My beautiful angel,
You don't know how long I've been wanting to do this, but still didn't have the courage. Like the rest of your sisters and your brother, I've been hoping this would just be one long bad dream. I missed your call today.. Gladys, Ofelia and Joe called, but yours never came. I miss you so much, your voice, your smile, your happy self...everything about you was wonderful. I love you so much. Please don't worry about "Kayla", we know how much you loved her and we will always take care of her. She is our little "JERRY". You will always be with us, in our thoughts, in our minds and in our hearts.
Love You Forever
Gracie

My dearest baby brother:

You are and always will be our "little ray of sunshine" - our forever fun-loving optimist. Words cannot describe the pain in our hearts. The emptiness we all feel without you. We know you are watching over us and you should know that we in turn will be watching out for your precious baby Kayla, for Mom and for Dorian and Justine.

You will forever remain in our thoughts and we look forward to when we will all be together before our Lord.

And in the words of our brother "Joe" - "there aren't four of us left - we will always be five"

I miss you my baby brother!

Love your sister

To Reyna Family

On behalf of my family & I, we'd like to express our deepest sympathies through these trying times. I was lucky to have Jerry as a close friend & even though he is gone he will never be forgotten. May God bless you & keep you in his hands.

Carlos & Nelda Gonzalez & Family

September 4, 2007

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.

Ms. Dorian Reyna

Dear Ms. Reyna,

I wish to convey my deepest sympathy to you upon the death of your husband, Jerry Reyna.

During the past few months I got to share with Jerry, he distinguished himself among his co workers and supervisors with his pleasant, enthusiastic manner and continuing high quality performance. He was a valued member of our team, and you can be justly proud of his contributions. We, his friends/family and co workers remember him with respect and admiration and he will be missed by all.

I extend my condolences to you and your family. I hope that time and memories will help lessen the burden of your sorrow, and that you may draw some measure of comfort knowing that others care and share in your loss.

Sincerely,
Mark E. Hertzler Jr.

Mrs. Reyna,
I never knew your husband personally but he left a big impression on my son (James Speed) who briefly worked with him up in Wyoming last year. My ex-husband (Jimmy Speed) was currently working with him at the time of his accident and was very upset Saturday morning when he called to give us the bad news. Just know that he will be dearly remembered by all who knew him. Like you say things happen and only GOD knows why. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you and may GOD BLESS you and your family.
