Funeral service held for murder victim
From Staff Reports
Distraught family members stood solemnly at Trish La Gallina’s graveside as Beth Concepción, La Gallina’s mother, delivered the eulogy.
“We’ll miss you so much,” she said, her voice cracking. “No other chicken can replace you.”
La Gallina, 1, died Monday after an altercation with her sister, Maggie The Dog, 8, in the family’s back yard. Their father, Eddie Concepción, found the body Tuesday morning. Maggie is in custody, and has confessed to the murder. She is represented by their brother, attorney Vince The Dog, who said he plans to enter a plea of temporary insanity.
The family held a private, side yard service Wednesday morning. In addition to Beth and Eddie Concepción, La Gallina’s older brothers Dominic, 5, and Gideon, 3, were in attendance.
“We love you, Trish,” Dominic said as their father threw the first shovel-full of dirt into the hole he dug next to La Gallina’s coop.
The family banned both Maggie and Vince from the ceremony. There is no date scheduled yet for Maggie’s trial.
RIP Trish.

I am so sorry for your loss :(. And look at her beautiful coop in the background! I know no one will ever take Trish’s place, but hopefully in the future you’ll consider adding Julia the chicken to the family.

Please accept my sincere condolences in the death of your one year old Trish. I remember the horror of Maggies previous attack on her poultry sibilings. This is no time to let Eddie or Trish blame themselves – Maggie and chickens just aren’t meant to be together.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and I hope the blog can survive….intact
