Por último, Jaime fué una persona muy agradecida con Dios y las personas que le brindaron ayuda en este mundo y ahora creo que también está muy agradecido con cada uno de ustedes por su apoyo y oraciones por él y por su familia. Dios les bendiga.

Jaime was born on July 22, 1951 in Guatemala City; There were 3 brothers and he was the youngest; He met his wife in high school, they were friends for 3 years and dating for 2; He decided to get married after both mothers died the same year.

They had 3 children. And feeling the lack of work and that the economy was not enough for the family, he decided to cross borders until he reached North America. In this Adventure, the only thing that accompanied him were memories of his family and a Heart broke in half because the other half had stayed with his family.

After a long road adventure he arrived in North America; He started working in different jobs; construction, gardening, and at night he cleaned offices, to send money to his family, his first vehicle, a bicycle on which he traveled driving an hour there and an hour back.

And, God, knowing his purpose in life, gave him the opportunity to obtain citizenship. He worked at "Pacific Ranch Market" until the day he retired.

He did all his work thinking about the well-being of his family; managing to bring his wife and children. And, as a family they began a new life full of dreams and sacrifices in Orange County, in the city of Orange, where they lived for 16 years, and when their children reached adolescence, as a family they decided to move to Riverside County getting a house. His hobbies: listening to classical and marimba music, photographing natural landscapes; planting fruit trees, cutting his two dogs’ hair, cooking and having fun with his two granddaughters. And something he always enjoyed was helping his wife at Church events, and helping those who needed it.

His favorite food: hilachas (shredded Beef) with rice; chicken in cream, black beans and roast beef.

Dessert: Ice cream or popsicles and Mangos.

His favorite prayers: Rosary to the 7 sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Rosary to Divine Mercy and the Holy Rosary.
