Victorville Daily Press
Inside Barstow Community Hospital, 27-year-old Destiny Alexander wore a tear-stained face mask as she hugged her dying grandmother, gently kissed her face and said her final goodbye.
Moments later, Mable Diane Vallejos, 68, took her final breath. Three days earlier, on Jan. 2, her husband, Army veteran Andres “Andrew” Manfor Vallejos Sr., 70, died.
Andrew and Mable Vallejos had been married for nearly 49 years in December when they both contracted COVID-19 and were admitted to Barstow Community Hospital.
Alexander told the Daily Press her grandparents official causes of death have not been released, but she said both suffered the virus effects.

Two current Trustees and one former Trustee of the San Ysidro School District dispute the District’s official position that it properly voted to settle an employee settlement last year.
All three Trustees say that no vote was taken to approve a separation agreement that paid out over $100,000 to an employee that had been terminated by Superintendent Julio Fonseca. That employee felt he was fired only after he talked about Fonseca’s hiring of a woman he was dating.
Three other current Trustees refused to comment. Antonio Martinez, Irene Lopez, and Board President Rosaleah Pellasigue did not return repeated requests for comments.
