My uncle Trino; I will miss you..... I am grateful that you found God. I grateful for you time on this earth. We can all learn from him. He came up in a time that was not easy. A time that our generation of Barrera's never experienced. He fought for our country in a time that molded the future of this country. In my own way I learned a lot from Uncle Trino. He did things his way. He carried the namesake of our grandfather. I only have one picture with my grandfather and was too young to remember him, but I have many pictures with my Uncle and I did know him. I know that the men in this family are built around the legacy of our grandfather. As different their lives have been, as different as they have lived, they always had each other. May you rest Uncle Trino knowing that your father and our lord and savior will embrace your as a new brother in heaven. Carry him lord on the shoulders of your Angels and may be be greeted by your Arch-Angels as he enters your kingdom. Heaven has a new pool player- a new son- a new leader of men. Your nephew Ricky
