“It was comforting knowing that Dad was with a trusted name. Particularly since he was cremated, it was good to know he remained under the care of East Lawn.”

My deepest sympathies to my Tia Eva, cousins Olivia, Joe, Ed, Manual, Victor, and their families. Tio Jose was such a wonderful person with lots of stories to tell. My childhood visits to Stockton are memories that I hold dear to my heart. Be certain that his legacy will live on through the memories we will share with the next generation. God Bless him and may he rest in peace.
Jose, siempre te recordare. Memo y yo grabamos muchos discos con tu mariachi. Oyendo mis discos estaras presente. Que en paz descanse un gran musico. Maria Dueto Azteca
Decanse en paz Compadre y gracias por todos los momentos felices que compartimos. Tuvimos la dicha de disfrutar su musica por muchos anos y esto se nos quedara para siempre.
Que en paz descanse, mi querido amigo, José. Doy gracias a Dios que me haya concedió visitarle unos dÃas antes de que él recogiera su alma. ¡Nunca lo olvidaré! Mis condolencias a doña Evangelina y a toda la familia Sosa.
In respect and love to a wonderful family in the time of great loss. Jose/Tata full of love for his family and music. He will be greatly missed, greatly remembered and forever loved. A part of you will live forever in the hearts of my Children-your Grandson and Granddaughter. Gods peace be with Eva a wonderful wife, Jose’s Sons and Daugther, Grandkids and extended family. May the wonderful memories of Jose’s full long life bring you a smile and fill the void in your hearts.
Descanse en paz mi amigo Jose Sosa. Fue un honor andar tocando violin un lado contigo con Los Jilgueros. Tengo tantas buenos recuerdos de ti. Me recuerdo cuando iba a su casa para praticar mariachi en el violin. La primera cancion que aprendi contigo fue “las perlitas.” Tambien tengo tantos recuerdos cuando ibamos a los tocadas. Eres una persona muy especial para mi y para mi famila. Te vamos a extranar amigo. Un dia nos vemos otravez para tocar mariachi en el cielo. Descanse en paz.
My condolences to the family for your loss is our loss. He will be be remembered. It was great to have played music with him.
Fue un honor ver conocido y ver tocado con Jose Sosa. Desde la primera vez que tocamos juntos, el me trato con mucha pasencia cuando yo empezaba a aprender la música que el ya sabia por muchos años. Fue un honor verlo conocido y hoy poder decir para siempre “yo fuà compañero de Don José Sosa” Yo soy un mejor músico y buena persona porque el señor Sosa fue un fiel amigo mÃo. Que Dios lo guarde en sus manos. José Barrón miembro, con Don Jose, del Mariachi Los Jilgueros desde 1999-
Querido Padre, Descanse en paz y cuidenos desde el cielo. Su hijo, Manuel.
