It is with a heavy heart that I write this. My mother passed away yesterday, January 30th, at 12:52pm. She was surrounded by love and died peacefully with Ramon and I next to her telling her how much we loved her and how amazing she was. She had seen Thomas in the morning and had given him a hug and a kiss and an “I love you” in sign language. I hope, I believe, her heart was full of the love she created in her life.

She is donating her body to the University of Miami for medical research. We are having a viewing and a mass said for her. Because she is donating her body, the viewing has to be done rather quickly and will be either Monday or Tuesday with the mass the following morning. I will post details when I have them later today.

Thank you all for your love and support throughout this process. It has been overwhelming to see so many people rally for my mom.

Love to all
