He wrote daily to his wife. He told her he wanted to put her in a crystal box so not even the wind would damage her. It was the most beautiful letter I ever read.
— Georgina Benitez, aunt
In his last letter to his wife, Mora wrote about returning home and taking her on a tour of the world. The two grew up down the street from each other.

5 memories of Jose
he was a great father to all his children... he surely is missed by MANY of us......
It is unfortunate to know what the outcome of this has brought to our family,but with this said, we shall regain strength and know that we deeply miss him and love him.
We pray for you, Jose
I know that your Redeemer lives;
The last day you shall rise again.
Receive his soul, O holy ones;
Present him now to God, Most High.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
We will always remember you In the City of Bell Gardens and this Country.
I will never forget the time my cousin Jose, Michael and I built a basketball court together. It took us a whole day but we did it!
The memories I have of Jose are what I hold close to my heart. But what is most painful to me is not his passing, but that his friends family and children have to wait until they all see him again, before they can share stories and laughs once more.
God bless you son, my you watch over the Gardens and pray for our youth in 90201
