I sent an email right after the service but that email no longer exists-just received a notification. The service was lovely. I’m sorry for the circumstances but it was wonderful seeing your two faces. Sending love and prayers.

As far as my memories go back, Trina and I have been friends. Both her and I grew up in the homes our Mother’s and their siblings were raised in, as our Grandmother’s lived across the street from one another. Many a times throughout the years, Trina and I reminisced about our years on Sylvia Avenue. Both agreeing that we were lucky to have grown up there, in a neighborhood where people watched out for one another and neighbors became family!
We were the kids that were outside all day, everyday playing with our group of girl friends up the street riding bikes, putting on talent shows for the kids on the block, catching frogs in the creek and naming them after our favorite teen idols, playing hide n seek until the street lights turned on, being pulled on our skates by Angie’s Great Dane dog up and down the street, running in the sprinklers on warm summer days, and collecting bottles and cashing them in so we could go to taco bell for lunch and then movies at Serra Theaters ending with bubble gum ice cream at the shop next door. Our days were filled with playing and laughing with our group of girl friends and on occasion playing chase with all the cute boys that lived down the street, and ending our day just her and I playing jacks on the sidewalk underneath her Grandmother’s Loquat tree.
This Christmas as I watch my Grandparents old home movies, I will get to see Trina and all her family eating tamales at my families dinner table as they did for so many holidays. And when I think of my dearest friends passing, I hope for Trina that her passing was like going back home to Sylvia Avenue…where she will be met at the door by her Mother and her Grandmother and having one big family reunion.
Until we are able to play jacks again underneath your Grandma’s Loquat tree, walk across the street and say hi to my Grandma and Grandpa for me! And Tell them all about your time with Peter and Tyler over a bowl of Grandpa’s menudo and Grandma’s freshly made flour tortillas!
Forever loving you my friend.

Trina was a very special niece to us. We really enjoyed our long chats we had on the phone, reminiscing about
good old times and family. She will be dearly missed. Rest in peace. We love you and miss you dearly!!

Trina was a once in a lifetime friend. We were kindred spirits. She was a beautiful soul. I am at a loss. She will always have a special place in my heart.

While I did not know Mrs. Hobbs that well, she was still one of the sweetest people I knew. One spring break, my friends and I stayed over at Tyler’s house and though she did not know most of us, she still was so open and loving. She fed us, made sure we had a good place to sleep, and treated us like we were her own children. From the short time that I knew her I could tell she was an amazing and one of a kind person
and she will be dearly missed. Rest in peace Mrs. Hobbs.

Trina was our beloved niece. How we will miss her great laugh, her love and concern for all our family members. It’s a great loss and so hard to believe she’s really gone. May the Lord comfort Peter and Tyler through this sad and difficult time.

Trina was like a Big Sister to me and she will be truly missed

Trina was a good friend of mine in high school.. It breaks my heart knowing that you were no longer with us. My condolences to the family. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless.

Trina Hobbs, my favorite gringa you called me silly many times because I used to avoid conversations about you going away, leaving us and how we needed to be prepared. Well, I tell you that I am not ready. I am not agree on this one, actually I will not be ready, I cant accept the fact that you have gone…
It is such a big pain that I can’t stand.
What a loss!
What an emptyness!
“You are the wind beneath my winds”, remember? Yes, thats what you are.
One day I told you this was our song because you have been my best friend, my sister, my confident, my inspiration, my family, my help, my support, my strength..
one side of my heart is in such a big pain, hurting and nothing will make it better..
Such an amazing human being who
left such a big hole in our lives, it wont be filled because you are one of a kind.
It’s been such a blessing and a pleasure to have you in my life!!!
What a beauty in all you!!
I LOVE YOU!!

Our thoughts and prayers to you Peter and Tyler. Trina will be missed and will always be in our memories and heart.

Trina and her family are such special people. She adored her family. She certainly raised a special son. I will remember her fondly.

Although I never had the opportunity to meet Trina in person, I could tell she was a beautiful soul whose spirit shined brightly on everyone she loved. Her passing was much too soon and she will be sorely missed, but God has a place for her in His divine and eternal kingdom so we rejoice in knowing that she is at peace and smiling down on the rest of us. My sincerest condolences, love and support to her loving husband, Peter, and their blessed son, Tyler, as I know these times are difficult. Thank you for putting this memorial together and honoring her in such a beautiful way.
