On November 11, 2009, our mother went to be with her Lord. "LIna." as she was known to those closest to her, was an outgoing and loving mother of six children. She was born January 7, 1967 in Corpus Christi, Texas. She graduated in 1985 from Port Neches-Groves High School. LIna spent the past six years working for Jackson-Hewitt as a tax preparer and was a substitute teacher in the Port Arthur Independent School District.

I did not have the honor of ever meeting Lina in person, but I am fortunate enough to know her wonderful daughter Jackie. I see how great she is and I know she had to come from a wonderful mother. I am so sorry for the family and friends loss. I have lost someone very close to me in a tragic way such as this and I know how much it hurts. Please know that you will be in my heart and in my prayers. It will take a long time but it will get easier to go on with your day to day life, I promise. The pain will never leave completely but you can try to remember the good times that you had. I'm sure that is what she would want.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences. When I think of your Mother can I hear her voice. I remember all of us celebrating Easter at the park across the street from my Grandfather's house. The memory came so easily to me even though I hadn't seen your Mom in a long time. I hope you can find so comfort and peace knowing your Mom is with Jesus in Heaven smiling down on you! God bless you and we love you!
