How does one summarize an angels life. Balbina Costilla was Gods light, she fought for everything she had. Born in Texas on May 22, 1970, she lost her parents young but always smiled. Growing up in Joliet, she worked in the food industry and began her amazing life, met Jorge Aguirre & gave life to 3 children: Tito, Jorge Jr. and her baby Maria Elena Aguirre, the journey was all Gods plan. She loved flowers, gardening, cooking and giving love to others. She was known as a giver and was the light when times got rough, she was an inspiration. She prayed to all saints, Virgin Mary was her favorite. Our beloved Balbina’s words were warmth and relief to suffering souls. She loved Dogs. Tunchi, Chato, and cookie also miss her so much. Her second marriage to Ramiro Dueñas was all love. They cooked together, laughed and made a home. A home to all. His posole was always better. She was truly fulfilled and at peace. Our beloved Balbina loved all of her sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, grandparents, aunts and uncles, they were always in her prayers. Her grandchildren, Pretty Girl, Camilla and Little Artemio, they were her sunshine. The love was instant. She cared for them with all love in this world and spoiled them. Even in her passing, she left gifts for years to come, she lives on and on. She is truly in Gods arms at peace.
