(JAN 23) The ceremony last night in the Church on Sherman way in Van Nuys for Lily Rodriquez was in my experience the most beautiful ceremony I've ever attended. People showed how loved Lily is/was and the big impact she has had on the life's of people, as a mother, wife, mentor, friend, teacher, warrior pioneer Martial Artist and as a member of the community. She was a beautiful human being.

The Church was filled with thousands of people and the ceremony was inspirational empowering, touching, spiritual and value creating.

Tears rolled down my eyes when Lily's Daughter and son's spoke, wow.!! The emotions, the pain, the faith, the respect, that vibrated through the room, was so palpable it deeply touched my heart.

Lily Urquidez Rodriquez was a Heroine, a mother Teresa, a pioneer and a role model for many, armed with a Sword of faith!!! (in her higher power God and Jesus)

We will miss her.

With Love and respect
Lucia Rijker
