Elsie Ignacio let us know this sad news today. We were just talking about you a few days ago, Tracie, so we guess someone on high was delivering us a message. We are so sorry for your loss. It appears that D.J. accomplished a lot in his life, however, and of that we are sure you are most proud!

I remember your dad when Willow Glen won the last of our many high school basketball grudge games. I remember Willow Glen then playing and winning CCS. And I remember your mom, a beautiful, radient bridesmaid at Randy and Shaunna's wonderful wedding. You are blessed to have such parents.
And I will always remember you.

Hi DJ,
The brief times that I spent with you and Helen will remain in my heart for eternity. You were precious and I so admired your positive attitude in life. I am glad that you take with you the memory of going to the ER show because I know how much that meant to you. Take care in heaven, DJ, and I know I will see you and visit you when it comes to be my turn to be with God forever.
With lots of love. Forever. Eduarda
