I remember Kuya Jessie and his love for fast cars amongst many in life. I have been playing Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam and brings me so many happy memories of him and fun, happy family times especially when Auntie Vidad was still around ( Rest In Peace, Auntie ). I miss Kuya Jessie’s laughs, sense of humor, and invaluable wisdom that he has imparted on me when he was still around. Ate Elma and J.R. And the entire Rells / Castilla family, May you find great comfort in knowing that Kuya Jessie was a good man and had a full life and loved by so many. I hope that pain of losing Kuya so suddenly may be appeased by these few words of comfort I offer. So nice to see all of you at the Visitation, Resurrection Mass, and at graveside service then the fun reception at Natsumi. All my love to all of you and especially also to Ate Shirley and Kuya Pete. Was hoping to see you two but understand why you two could not make it.  Pam (808) 224-9203 ( Ate Bibeth, I will send the photos that I took from my camera, the real camera not from a cellphone-I have to ask you to which no. Or e-mail or group chat do I send those to. )  See you on the other side in God’s time, Kuya Jessie, Auntie Vidad, and Papa ( Badong Castilla ). Thank you, Ate Zeny, for being so welcoming to me at the Mass / funeral-it’s been so long that I have not seen all of you and the new additions to the Rells/Castilla family. 

We lost another car guy and friend.  Working with Jesse at KMD (San Diego Transit), we always talked about his car projects and my car projects.  Jesse was one of a few people that I could talk cars with and he understood and talked cars back.  He always had a big smile when we greeted each other at work.  I truly miss our talks, sharing our dreams and exchanging family adventures.  My sympathies, prayers and thoughts are with his family.  Please know that he is loved and missed.
