Help Trujillo Family Fight COVID
***Update 1/3/21***
Thank you all for your continuous outpouring of love and generosity towards Alejandra and family during this extremely difficult time. Please continue to pray for peace and comfort.
We want to take a moment to reflect and remember these two beautiful souls, Victor Trujillo and Raquel Sanchez.
Victor was such a generous, loving, joyful, enthusiastic, caring, larger than life, big hearted man. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone, whether he knew the person or not. He was incredibly humble and a proud dad who loved his wife and children with all his being. We all miss his kind words and sweet smile very much. His legacy will live on through all the love he shared with everyone he met and the investment he made into his family.
Raquel was such a shining light in so many people’s lives. Everyone who knew her, knew it was always a good conversation with her when you saw her. She was funny and outspoken. She was the loving, caring, matriarch of her family and represented nothing but true grit in life. We will miss her uplifting spirit and joyful smile terribly.
Words can’t begin to express how much our heart aches for Alejandra, Elias, Renee, Vic’s mother Chayo, the rest of the Trujillo family (Joe, Abel, Salvador, Rosalyn) and Sanchez family (Alma, Raul, Martin, Gloria). We, as their family, friends, and community will continue to offer support and love to all of them.
God bless every one of you.
