It's never easy losing someone you love, especially when it is someone you known most of your life. Lourdes and I grew up together. I have known her longer than I have not, since 2nd grade to be exact. She is my best friend and my sister. Lourdes has always been a fighter, a hard worker and a provider. She was the type of person who always willing to help, she always opened her heart and home to others.

Her unexpected loss due to a stroke shocked us all. She leaves behind her mother Ofelia Macias, Her 2 Sons; Alexis and Joey, her daughter; Sabrina and her 3; grandsons Julian, Arsen and Atticus. 

I come to you with hopes of support for not just my friend, but someone who was a sister, a mother , a grandmother. Any support will be used for funeral expenses to help out the family during this difficult time. 

I thank you in advance for all of your support and prayers.
