Until we see you again, Lina...

Infectious laughter, warm embraces, kind-hearted soul, silly beyond all belief, nerdier than all nerds, loving cousin, daughter, mother, sister, friend, and co-worker- Andrea "Lina" Salinas was all the above and will always be so much more to so many.

On the morning of October 3rd, 2022, Lina left this earth for a greater calling, but she left us all too soon, and now her immediate family (Mother, Father, Sister, and her two sons, Owen(12) and Tommy(10)) remain to carry on her memory. Please support the family and her surviving children through this difficult time. Your generosity will directly support services, and related expenses, and the remainder will be used to support her children who are currently in the care of family.

Lina.... It's not how you left us that we will dwell on, but how you lived and loved that we will forever remember you and keep you in our hearts. We will never forget your talent (or your balance- if you know, you know), your creativity, your thirst for knowledge, your love of books, your unselfish caring nature, your love for family, your beautiful smile, those long and warm embraces, nor your raised brow when we knew we had done wrong. Still, all your being, we carry on in who we are today and who we will be tomorrow, and we are all the better for having been blessed to have walked, laughed, and loved alongside you.

This is not goodbye; this is until we see you again.......

Regarding contact, the family appreciates the outpouring of love and support but kindly requests time to grieve. Additional information will be shared when the family is ready.
