  • I give thanks to Trino for letting us keep our mom here on earth for the amount of time we had her. She has now joined him in heaven along with our dad and Roland, our brother, plus numerous family members. He was an outstanding brother to us. For my 11th birthday, he sent me a birthday card from Vietnam - how he was able to obtain one is still a mystery to me. It would be the last birthday gift from him as he was killed a few weeks later. My son's middle name is in his honor. For the short life he lived, he lived life. Always had a smile on his face. He would take us to places without dreading it. He was instrumental in teaching our youngest brother, Jimmy, many life surviving traits. My mom - how she missed him. God needed him more.
