Vioma And Alfonso Trujillo published a tribute .

Ailene, Rudy and Marcella, to lose a parent is so very hard. However, as a family God graced us with their presence for a long time. When she recently called to check on my mom in the hospital her gift of laughter was heard in her voice when I recognized her immediately and I could see her face light up. Because of her my mom and dad were introduced as one. Her true onery spirit lives in me because my dad would often say to me "eres como tu tia Andrea," ha! That's okay tia, I will keep the flame glowing. Now, we make memories and I have many. Like when she and kitchen crew drank the champagne to be used for toasting at our wedding. Her hugs and kisses and those of your dad are oiften felt in my heart when I close my eyes and reflect. Thank you for sharing her with us. I pray that our Lord will comfort each and everyone of you at this time. Keeping you in our prayers---Love your cousins Vioma and Alfonso.
