    My name is Jorge Luis Pons currently serving time in Texas I believed that those are great - grandparents if any body read thisplease contacted me.

  2. Lorna Fernandez and Jenna Fernandez from Walmart’s says:

    Although I didn’t much have a family relationship with Javier and Janie while they visited me at Walmart Pharmacy. I soon developed a great likeness to both Javier and Janie, over the years our friendship grew, knowing that they both we’re special to me and Jenna( my daughter). I soon began to see Janie’s visit more to the Pharmacy more than Javier, I kept asking her about Javier’s health, one time I really was sad,he has his good days and some bad days. I immediately started to ask our Heavenly Father for His Mercy on my brother Javier’s health. I visited brother Javier on 7th of January, I was glad to have gone and visited him, he was at peace with himself. Janie my friend and sister, you are a trooper, you stood by Javier through all his good and bad times. He is gone from home, but eternally loves you till you meet again. Eternal Rest Grant unto him O Lord and let Perpetual light shine Upon him. May his Soul Rest In Peace. Amen! With our sincere Sympathy to you and your family, love Lorna and Jenna.
