Melissa Aguinaga Obituary

Melissa Hope Romero Aguinaga September 15, 1974 - October 7, 2010 God broke our hearts the 7th of October 2010, proving He only summons the best when He called upon our beautiful Melissa. She was born to Michael Romero Sr. and Virginia Williford of Arvin on September 15, 1974. Melissa leaves behind her two beautiful daughters, Jessica and Destiny Martinez, and will also be survived by two sisters, Jacqueline Romero, Natalie Comer; three younger brothers, Michael, Joseph and Aaron Romero; step-dad, Lloyd Williford; her favorite cousin, Amanda Mohamed; her "BFF" of 14 years, Verenice Alvarez as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and countless nephews and nieces will also miss her dearly! She was an extraordinary mother to her daughters who were her world, and outstanding wife to Arthur Aguinaga who was also taken that very night. Our "hostess with the mostest" always went above and beyond for family gatherings, and will be well remembered for her famous cakes, bows and tutus. Her precious smile and distinctive laugh would brighten any room. Her beauty was truly undeniable. Mom, we love and miss you more than words could ever express or describe. You were the best mother anyone could ever ask for, now we can say we have our own guardian angel watching down on us. Forgetting our memories together would be like remembering someone we never knew. "Wherever YOU go OUR hearts will follow". Like you always told us, we got it from our mama! Love you Mom, may you rest in a paradise as beautiful as you. Services for Melissa will be held in the Basham Funeral Care Chapel (3312 Niles Street) on Thursday, October 14, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. Thank you everyone for all your love and support. Special thanks to Adrianna Aguirre and Susana Cruz. Love Jess, Dee, Lulu and Peanut. For additional information, contact Basham Funeral Care at 873-8200.
