It is with sadness that Mary Esther’s brother, Norbert Trevino and I (Mary, sister-in-law) and our family send our deepest and heartfelt condolences. Norbert is suffering with his end of life illnesses, we will not be in attendance. Please note that I have scheduled a Mass for the Repose of her soul at Holy Rosary Catholic Church on January 9, 2024.
May all of you be consoled that Mary Esther no longer suffers; she has gone on to her resurrected life with Our Heavenly Father and we wish all of you who loved her, peace of Christ, comfort and consolation. Thank you Raymond Martinez who took wonderful care of her throughout her illness. Peace be with all of you.
