Monday Funeral

Monday morning we went to a funeral. I didn't really know the family or the people very well. But the young man who passed away was a month away from turning 23. My mom said that when she got married his mom was expecting him. My mom knew them through her wedding. When she got married she had Francisco and Indeliza Loera be her Godparents for her wedding... so my parents' wedding Godparents are his grandparents... it was a very beautiful yet sad service... seriously! The unity in people strength and his friends and family... I couldn't imagine having such a sad but beautiful place in time in life to die. I couldn't imagine that even though he was so young he had so much support. During the mass, the girlfriend, the sisters and the parents spoke a little about him and it was so heart breaking loosing such an obvious asset to their family but God knows why this happens. But, the good thing for the family is obvious that they have a lot of faith because they have so much peace in their look it's pretty amazing because I see them and the family and see the pictures of the young man and I can't help but try and avoid my tears from rolling down...

This is the report I found online...

Man Died Early Thursday when Car Struck Trees in Fontana

JULY 12, 2009 - High speed appears to be a factor in a solo-vehicle crash that killed a 22-year-old man, authorities said. Jesse Valenzuela of Fontana was driving a 2007 Toyota Tundra south on Liberty Parkway about 12:26 a.m. when his vehicle swerved into the center divider south of Meyer Canyon Drive, according to the San Bernardino County coroner’s office. The truck slammed into two trees located in the median, nearly ripping the vehicle in half, authorities said. Valenzuela was wearing a seat belt, but was ejected anyway, according to the Fontana Police Department. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Fontana Police Department is investigating the collision.
