    It was my honor to work with you for 12 years. You were a joy to know. Love how you always called me “Mitchell” instead of my first name. See you soon!

    To the Salinas family: Jerry and I count it a blessing to have been friends and fellow workers with our dear friend, Elias for so many years! Elias was always a very fun man! We had lots and lots of laughs together and we will always have special and precious memories of the time that we had Elias in our lives! We love and miss him and you his family too! You are a special family in our hearts, so you are in our prayers now and in the future! Love Jerry and Jackie Stearman! Ps. So sorry we missed the specific celebration of his home going, (we were out of the country at that time).
