Eulogy for Jorge Luis

Thank you for coming today to express your support and remember Jorge Luis's life.

Sibling relationships are one of the longest ones that we can experience. Even though ours ended too soon, I was truly blessed by his example and how it ended.

For the most part, he and I were never shy in expressing our feelings and opinions to each other. We had our share of arguments, and although we sometimes disagreed as to how things should be done, we had the same values our parents passed on to us.

Jorge was one of the most loyal and honest persons I have known. He would never turn away a friend in need.

He loved all his family very much.

He loved Mami and tried to research about her condition and doctors even though the chemo treatments prevented him from thinking clearly. He was sorry he couldn't do more and was very thankful I was able to take care of her.

He loved Emilio and Rudy very much. He taught them to be respectful, responsible, honest and decent young men.

He loved Yomaris very much and appreciated her as a wife and mother and for all the years that she stood by him during his long battle with cancer.

At the end of his life, Jorge did something that I have not experienced anyone do.
He asked for forgiveness, forgave and made amends with almost everyone in his life.
That is what a true disciple of Christ would do. And that is why I know that God is happy with him and has welcomed him into his kingdom.

Jorge, I am grateful you were in my life and I thank you for teaching me to be humble and forgiving.

Silvia and I are blessed to have had you as our big brother. We will miss you and know that we all will be here for Rudy, Emilio and Yomaris.

Hey Tia! How are you guys holding up?? I know that you guys are going through a tough time right now with Tio Gorge and I would love to be there if I could... I wanted to call to talk to him but every time I thought about it I got emotional and couldn't hold back my tears. I would love it if you could leave a message for me... Tell him I said thank you. Thank you for freeing me of a horrible phobia for the last 18 years of my life. Because of Tio I was able to let go of my fear of dogs and that means more to me than he'll ever know. He was right when he said my fear would hold me back and now I've been able to take control of my own life and not allow it to be guided in fear. Tell him im going to miss his smile and hugs. His words of encouragement and laughter. Even though I didn't get to see him as often he meant just as much to me as anyone of my other relatives. Tell him i love him and I will forever hold his spirit in my heart. I love you Tia! You'll get through this! 😔💕

I spoke with Jorge 3 years ago. He said he was sick. We were really good friends from our old neighborhood. He was the most honorable men I have ever had the pleasure to have met. The world lost a big heart. We traveled to Lake Tahoe and all over California in the 70's. I would love to send pictures of our times together in Newark for his sons.

My deepest condolences to your family. If it wasn't for Jorge pushing Tony to go out dancing that one faithful night- I would have never met my husband. He was a great man and will truly be missed.

I am sorry to hear about Jorge's passing. Jorge made everyone laugh with his great personality. I know that he is in heaven with his fellow Ivy Hill friends making them smile right now. May the memories you have help comfort you through this emotional, sad time. My deepest condolences to your family.
