HACIENDA HEIGHTS, Calif. — Most had never met her, didn’t even know her name until they saw it on the news. They all but filled the pews of spacious St. John Vianney Catholic Church in the Los Angeles suburb of Hacienda Heights, just a couple of miles (3.2 kilometres) from where a park worker had found Trinity’s body on March 5. I have grandchildren her age,” Camille Boswell of the nearby city of Placentia said of Trinity and her family. Before going inside, mourners saw 90 candles lighted in honour of Trinity’s life — 10 for each of her nine years — and heard the church’s bells toll for 90 seconds. Miao Hsi added that Buddhist faith accepts that although Trinity is gone, her spirit lives on in every person she leaves behind.
