RODRIGUEZ-MERIDA, ESTRELLA DESTINA BEVITA "Star" Stay True Always Real An angel lent us a Star on November 15, 1997, and came back for her on July 2, 2014. Star is survived by love. She had many mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, brother, sisters, aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Everyone was her family. Star was a Love Life Soldier, fighting for what she believed and for the ones she loves. She left us early only because in her physical body she could not protect everyone at the same time. In what appears to be a selfish act, was really a selfless act of love. Star loved hard. And now she is in peace and collecting all her soldiers, saving their lives through the love of Jesus Christ. Services for Estrella will be held at 10:00 am, Friday, July 11, 2014 at Sagebrush Community Church, 6440 Coors Boulevard NW, Albuquerque, NM. Services held in Santa Fe will be announced at a later time.
