cooking.

At the age of 96, my mom Trinidad Trina/Trini Huerta Villegas, passed away peacefully on May 12, 2017, just before noon while listening to the King Elvis Presley's ultimate gospel hymns. Mom enjoyed many things in this life: telling a good joke or funny story created an infectious laughter; her gardens and Texas spring flowers, she could make anything grow; a great tasting dish, her black-eyed peas on New Year's Day were the best; her love of birds, a good dance tune; singing; best of all her family and siblings. I love and miss you Mom!
