Dear Friends and Family,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved brother, Ivan Lugo, who left us the day after Thanksgiving last week. Ivan was not just a brother but a cherished soul who touched the lives of everyone he encountered with his warmth, kindness, and infectious spirit.

In the midst of our grief, we find solace in the teachings of Buddhism, where the significance of the 49 days after death holds a special place. This period is believed to mark the journey of the departed soul through the bardo—the intermediate state between death and rebirth. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and offering support to help guide the departed toward a positive rebirth.

To honor Ivan's memory and observe this sacred period, we are reaching out to you for your support. We have established a memorial fund to ensure that we can provide the necessary rituals and prayers for Ivan's peaceful journey. Your contributions will also help us create a lasting tribute to his life, preserving the beautiful memories we shared with him.

By making a donation your generosity will not only help us navigate this challenging time but will also contribute to the spiritual journey that Ivan is believed to be undertaking.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for any support you can provide during this difficult time. Let us come together to celebrate Ivan's life, share our memories, and provide the comfort and assistance needed for his journey ahead.

With love and gratitude

Family and Friends
