Our beautiful, sweet, kind and amazing mother, grandmother, aunt, sister Margarita Duran passed away yesterday November 17th 2021. It still doesn't feel real.

Our mom has been battling Cancer since March 3rd 2021. 

She had been in and out of hospitals for almost a year due this battle of Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma, unfortunately this cancer originally started as Gastric Cancer spread throughout her esophagus, bladder, pancreas, liver and lungs, lastly her intestines were affected as well which caused an acid build up. Within the last couple of days she was no longer able to control her pain and lost all comfort Through this she fought hard with the process of Chemo Therapy, Radiation and two Clinical Trials but she was fiercely strong. She always got better and then went home. But when she went into the hospital for this last time we just kept receiving more bad news. But she was fighting through it.

Through everything, she was always in good spirits. she was still optimistic that it could be treated to slow it down even though she was fighting day and night. Our mommy had faith in god, and we all hoped for a miracle. 

We all felt hopeful. Or maybe we were all living in denial because it was too painful to accept. But after that, we stopped thinking about it because she seemed to be doing so well! 

Unfortunately, soon after our mom ended up in the ICU on a respirator due to her heart rate increase The doctors informed us that without the ventilator our mommy would not surpass this and it was best to place her in Comfort Care. The situation itself was devastating for the family. Even right after, with no hope from the doctors, her heart was still going strong. She gave us another 22 hours to enjoy her & let us all say our goodbyes. She fought hard through this entire journey until she took her last breath. We have the honor to say she was not alone, she was surrounded by her kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews & sister. 

Anything you are willing to help us with 

would be most appreciated. Thank you for your support and time.
