Charissa was an angel in disguise. She sacrificed much and went out of her way to help others. She put their needs before hers and always made them feel better than when they arrived. She adored her three children and husband more than anything.
Charissa is survived by her husband of 6 years, Daniel Castilleja; three daughters, Khianna Rae, Kirah Lee, and Khalani Kai; sisters, Kendra Michelle (Jerry) and Shoko Nguyen (Michael) and her parents, Delfino Mendoza, Jr. and Emelda Y. Mendoza.
