Margarita Vigil Tijerina Tristan
A Celebration of life of 99 years
Margarita Vigil Tijerina Tristan was born in Seguin on January 3, 1914.
Grandma announced to us that Jesus Christ had come to her and that she was going with him toward the end of March. She told the families dont cry for me for my departure is a happy one. On March 22, 2013 Jesus quietly came and gathered grandma in his arms while she slept peacefully.
Brothers and sister: if then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory. col.3:14
