My most sincere condolences to the family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

My parents always had us refer to Jorge and his sisters as “Tío Jorge” and “Tias” growing up. It wasn’t till I was grown that my siblings and I found out that he wasn’t our tío/tias but our cousins. Jorge was my dad’s (Fernando Alarcon) first cousin. This is just one of many memories I have of Jorge. My deepest condolences to Dora and the whole family. May the memories of him console you and fill your heart.

We have known Mo for more than 40 yrs. We traveled together having numerous adventures and he was our rock. We had so many laughs and good eats. He was a generous and caring host. He was a patriot and served his community in different roles. I valued his wit and intelligence. To know him was to love and admire him. We feel privileged to have had him in our lives. Our condolences to the rest of his family. May God sustain us through this loss.

Sad day indeed. You are already missed. God bless!

Good bye old friend and may departure from these earth let us know the fine things you did were their for us to remember. Never forgot the time we spend in Texas A&M a week of fun and study, while we were with the Laredo Fire Deparment. May you rest peace. Capt. Alex Quintanilla Ret.

To the Molina family, my most sincere condolences. Your husband/father, was a man of integrity and absolute compassion. He was without a doubt the Supervisor, that I admired and respected the most while working as an Immigration Officer in Laredo. God bless you!

Please accept our most sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved husband. We know that Moe and my husband, Pete Martinez, III, were very good friends for many years. We will be out of state starting May 10th and will return to San Antonio late Monday, May 13th. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you, Dora, and all the family. Sincerely, Lucy Martinez and Josh and Chris Martinez

Our sincere condolences to my Uncle/Cousin Jorge Molina. You will be dearly missed. Tony and I will always treasure your friendship. I will always remember your laughter and your care for the Rosales Girls.

With heartfelt condolences. When I'm Gone When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And remember only the smile Forget unkind words I have spoken Remember some good I have done Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I've had loads of fun Forget that I've stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way Remember I have fought some hard battles And won, ere the close of the day Then forget to grieve for my going I would not have you sad for a day But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay And come in the shade of evening When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
