Jose (Joe) Salazar was in my house visiting me. The night he was murdered. I was his girlfriend and pregnant . that's something I didnt have a chance to give him the news. It's been almost 16 yrs since they took you from your love ones. Our son just turned 15yrs old . and without a doubt he has all your characteristic.. He is a sweetheart with a great personality. And with a good sense of humor ..He's caring and friendly. He likes helping other ppl if they need a hand.. They have took my son's father and I can't. Give him his father back.. I'm very thankful to our God that by his hand there was justice. His killer was sentenced 55yrs to life. But that still won't give my son his father back and the love ) that he wishes he could've had or just to. Meet him just once.. Our son's name is Joe.And that is the best gift you had left me with .. With him I feel like somehow you are still here... You will forever be loved n missed.. One day I'll see you again...
