Dios mio, siento mucho la perdida de su hermosa hija,yo se el dolor por el que estan pasando, pero solo Dios y el tiempo aliviara su sufrimiento.Su hija seguira viva en cada recuerdo y en cada corazon, su espiritu vive y esta en el paraiso agarada de la mano con DIOS,donde solo hay eterna felicidad, no hay dolor,ni lagrimas.Ese debe ser su consuelo--ella es feliz.Los amo y aqui estoy para llorar junto a uds.

Eddie and Terry,
Having gone down this path, I know there are no words that can ever ease the pain. But please know that whenever you are ready to talk about it, you can call Sylvia or I anytime. It was such a pleasure coaching Salina. She had such determination about her and in the way she competed, and that is how she lived her life....with passion! In the short time she was here, she "lived" everyday to the fullest, and at the end of the day, that is what matters most. God Bless you all.....

Terry and family, I am Mr. Gonzalez at Slider Middle School. I remember Salina for many accomplishments here at Slider but mostly for being with us on the Wagon Train project we did in 2005. It is so hard to see a young lady like Salina go to her final resting place at such a young age. She taught us here at Slider many things but mainly to see the world with a smile. I will hold her in my heart and mind forever. She touched us all. God Bless
