You will be deeply missed, our friend. There's no words to express the shock and sorrow we are feeling and only glad we saw you last week. Our prays and condolences go to Vicky and the rest of your family. You will always be in our hearts and glad we have the many memories of so many years past of working together and times we spent as friends. We will never forget the camping trip many years ago and watching you putting up a tent for your first time with Vicky watching in amazement. May you rest in peace.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family. I had the honor of working with Dr. Jasso at McKinley Elementary. He was a great and caring person. He was the first person to helped me to find a daycare for my son when my family and I moved from California. Always had good comments and advices for my whole family. Great memories to remember.

Lorenzo, you will be missed by all that knew you. We had a lot of fun at Brooks Elementary. You were a wonderful principal to work for. You would come down and join us on our breaks and put your arms out as if you were flying to Mexico to see your dear parents, you made us all laugh. You will be missed by Vicky, your son and his family. May the Lord keep you all in his loving arms. Hold on to all the memories. When I think of Lorenzo, I only have good memories.
