Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS

October 14, 2006

Jerry,

I only met you a few times but you were always very sweet to me. You were a great friend to my father (Richard Baray) and he misses you and talks about you all the time. He always told me that you two were like brother and when you left he was so distraught, it was heart breaking. I remember when you came to my fathers surprise birthday party at Stevens Steak house and I remember him being so happy that you were there. I'll always remember that beautifull smile of yours and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Happy belated Birthday.

My sympathies to your family. When i look at your picture I see another "Monte Boy" like I grew up with, played softball with, hide and seek with, hit the pineda with, played basketball with, and chased girls with from kindergarden to high school in El Monte growing up. It is always too sad when such a senseless tragedy happens to one of us way too young and for such an ignorant reason. One time a gang banger got shot in the head 100 feet from my house and a policeman walked me home standing between me and the potential line of fire of the incedent. I was 7 and as i grew older i really began to appreciate the things that you guys do for us, putting yourselves in the line of fire and protecting us as you are sworn to do. God bless you and your family, i pray for you guys out there in Los Angeles.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.

Not one single day.

Happy Birthday Jerry. I know that you are having a great day up in Heaven. I just want you to know that I miss you so much bro. Alexis said it best in a previous message..."The world is a different place without you."
Your laugh and your smile will always be etched in my heart Jerry. I love you brother, and you have a blessed day in heaven.

I can't wait to see you again bro, so that I can give you a huge hug! I love you Jerry!

Happy Birthday Uncle Jerry, I know you are celebrating your birthday in the most glorious place. I miss you and you are always in my thoughts and my precious memories.
I Love you
Love Angela

Que Linda esta la manana
En que vengo a saludarte
Venimos todos con gusto
Y placer a felicitarte

El dia en que tu naciste
Nacieron todas las flores
Y en la pila del bautizmo
Cantaron los ri senores

Ya viene amaneziendo
Y la luz del dia nos dio
Levantate de manana
Mira que lla amanecio

Quisiera ser un san juan
Quisiera ser un san pedro
Y venirte a saludar
Con la musica del cielo

Volaron cuatro palomas
Por toditas las ciudades
Hoy por ser dia de tu santo
Te deciamos felicidades

Con angeles y flores
Este dia voy adornar
Hoy por ser dia de tu santo
Te venimos a cantar

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

You are missed every single day.

I've just read the beautiful reflections for a wonderful man who has been in the presence of his Father for over a year. Jerry looks even more beautiful today than the beautiful picture of him I see here. He is glowing in happiness with Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. God bless his wife and children and brother and family always. I will pray that you are under His umbrella of protection and love. How sad it is for those who don't fully comprehend the joy of knowing that we will be with our loved ones again someday. Praise the Lord for this. Thank you family for sharing from your heart. My niece and her three year old twins are now experiencing the loss you first felt over a year ago. I know David is blessed to be in Heaven with Jerry and all those who went before them. God bless you always.

You were such a tremendous person.

We were blessed to have you, even if only for a short while.

You are our angel. We miss and love you.

Thank you for your service to God and Country my brother. You have a very unique smile which seems to be a window to your kind soul. (just my observation) I hope your children will be taken care of by God Almighty himself and blessed.

I know that the year anniversary just passed and how hard it has been for LASD and both our families to have lost such great guys. Stay well and I include you all in my prayers.

Thank you for watching over Mom during her surgery. She did exceptionally well and I know you were there with her. You and God. She misses you beyond what the human mind can possibly imagine. Her pain, both physically and emotionally, is too strong to describe. But, she finds comfort in God and knowing that she'll see you again. We all will and that gives us hope. Please guide her through her recovery. We love you.

Bro....You are in our thoughts everyday......we miss you. You have a great family and they honor you. Everyone-Chela, your Mom, Claudia, Art, Mike, Sylvia, your friends-they always show their love for you and must make you proud when you're looking down on all of them. Keep them safe bro.... You are a guardian angel for them and for all of us. Life is not the same without you. RIP

Jerry, I miss you more than words can say. You were taken from us too soon. I miss your phone calls and just hearing your stories. I will never forget everything about you. Juju and Tyus talk about their uncle Jerry all the time. I will never let them forget you Jerry. Thank you, Thank You, Thank You for all you have done for the safety of our communities.
