"I love and will miss my Uncle Jose. He was kind, fun, and would set you straight when necessary. Lol I remember him most as a little girl as he and my Aunt Debra were like my second Dad and Mom. I was with them a lot and enjoyed it always! I was spoiled when with them. Uncle Jose, I will cherish the love that you had for me always. Rest In Peace until we meet again. Love, Kim"
