Support for Trena's Ohana

(help with funeral costs and celebration of life)

Aloha family and friends,

My name is Samantha, and Trena Pasion is my big sister. I have created this on behalf of my niece and nephews. On August 1st, 2023, a sudden and unexpected tragedy happened for my niece and nephews. Their mother was found by her grandchildren unresponsive in her room. Paramedics were able to get a heartbeat after she flatlined 3 times. She ended up in the Queens West ICU for the last 13 days. Our family hoped and prayed that doctor’s would be able to help her, but on August 5th, our hearts were broken to find out that she would not be able to pull through this. This past Sunday, my sister’s children and grandchildren said goodbye to the backbone of their family, their beloved mother.

If you know Trena, you know she was a beautiful soul with kind eyes that sparkled like stars and a smile that could light up the darkest room. She was a strong, resilient woman who found humor even through difficult times, and she could lift anyone’s spirit with her infectious laugh. My sister was a rock for her family. A loving mother and grandmother is not enough to describe what she meant to them. She was everything for her babies... their lifeline. She gave my niece and nephews and their children the gift of family, faith, love, kindness, and hospitality. A loving daughter, loyal friend, fun-loving cousin, and a great big sister. With her kindness and grace, she has touched many people throughout her life. Trena's ability to make you feel comforted and accepted is why she is also hanai mom, aunty, and sister to so many.

This tragedy was totally unforseen, and her children were not prepared to deal with this loss. They have been strong, holding each other up, but it has taken a huge emotional toll on them as well as her beautiful grandchildren. I am humbly asking on behalf of my niece and nephews, that family and friends consider donating monetarily so that her children can concentrate on grieving and comforting each other, and not have the extra added stress of dealing with after death expenses. Monies would go towards any memorial costs, cremation etc . . . and also a celebration of life that will honor their beautiful mother the way she would have wanted and help everyone whose life she touched come together in remembering this one of a kind woman, Trena Pasion. More than anything, we ask for your love and support as we grieve this loss as one ohana. Thank you so much for any help.

Love the Pasion, Bassett, and Das ohana

Revelation 21: 3, 4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
