Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have gathered here today in remembrance of a great man, a cherished family member, and an unwavering servant to his community, Mr. Jose Yglesias. As we stand amidst the poignant air of this solemn occasion, we are embraced by a collective warmth kindled by the countless memories of Jose that we hold close to our hearts.
Facing the reality of his loss is understandably painful, and while the void left in the wake of his departure seems impenetrable, we are consoled by the memory of his love, his strength, and the countless ways he made the world a better place.
I recall a poem that seems particularly fitting today. It’s called “Those We Love” by Anonymous, which speaks of the powerful connection shared between kindred spirits, even beyond this physical world.
"Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
For death is not the end and it cannot separate us from the love, memories, and legacy shared and built by our beloved Jose. His spirit still guides us, still dwells around us, in the whispers of the wind, in the comfort of the warm sunshine, and through the love we share within this beautiful family he so cherished.
Jose’s dedication to his work was a testament to his remarkable character. You could always find Jose in his study, engrossed in his latest project, his face illuminated by the warm glow of his desk lamp, a tried and true reflection of the light he carried within. He was the paradigm of diligent application, an unyielding bastion of commitment and focus to his labor. His dedication is an inspiring model for all of us to strive toward.
But what truly made his life a beacon of joy was his extraordinary family. Jose’s eyes would light up at the sight of his loved ones. So filled with admiration for them, he championed their dreams as his own, nurtured their hopes with unyielding optimism, and loved them with all his heart. He instilled the values of love, respect, and the power of a unified family.
My dear friends, we remember Jose as more than the loss we mourn today. We remember him in the light of his enduring love and his inspiration. His memory will continue to inspire his beloved family and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Today, we look forward and carry Jose's spirit and legacy with us into the tomorrows. In our aspirations, in our achievements, in our moments of joy, we will honor Jose’s memory every single day. For even though he is not physically with us, he remains a vital part of us, a steadfast presence, forever loved, forever missed, and very dear.
So, we bid farewell to a remarkable man. To the humble soul whose life was a living testimony to the power of dedication, love, and the beauty of family. Jose Yglesias, you will forever be remembered.
Thank you.
