She will be terribly missed but her life is lovingly celebrated. She goes now to her eternal resting place with GOD in paradise. Her favorite prayer as a child was: “Angel of God, my guardian dear to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.” She was born on November 6, 1957 to Rodolfo and Estella Salinas in Baytown, Texas where she resided all of her life.
Lou Lou was full of life and never met a stranger, opening her home to so many people until they could establish themselves. She did this lovingly as she was taught to always do for others at a very young age. Being one of the youngest she would take matters into her own hands and be a mother hen taking care of others before herself. She always wanted us all to have the best birthday ever going out of her way to make us feel like royalty. She left a void that is going to be so hard to replicate. No matter what obstacles stood in her way Lou Lou was a strong woman and didn’t take no for an answer. She would tackle anything and would not quit till she had finished her task. What she did here on Earth she is going to do in heaven for she truly was a loving and giving woman. God gained an angel in the form of our beloved Lou Lou.
