Jesse,

I just found out that your mom has passed. I worked with her at Zayre's and remember how happy she always was and such a joy to work with....she was always telling her jokes to us and kept us going.

I am sad for your loss and my prayers and my heartfelt sympathy to you and your whole family.

God bless....

Am so sad to hear that my godmother; Olga Rojo passed to eternal life. I remember when Jesus Rojo Passed and I was saddened, but I lost track of my godmother and just lost my mother 11/13/2009, 78 years young tragically. Mom and dad always enjoyed partying with Jesus and Olga Rojo at our home. I would have gone to the services, but I live in Bartlett and could not get in and we are still mourning our beloved mother's sad passing. I can imagine that you all are going thru a difficult time as we are. God Bless and take care of all the family. Gloria Sepulveda Stiles and family

Dear Jesse and Georgeann,

Jesse, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I'm glad you had her for a good, long time. Remember that Alex and I had to drop out of your wedding because we buried my mom the day before? She was only 49. It never stops hurting. Your family is in my prayers. Love, Kathy Cielocha (Antonow)
