On July 7, 2018 Diane Consuela Roza (my Best Friend Tamera Roza's Mom) lost her long time battle with Alzheimer's. If you love someone with Alzheimer's you already know this journey is not one I would wish for anyone to travel. Anyone who knew Diane, knows she had a huge heart and was always there to help anyone and everyone. She was an Amazing Mother, Wife and Grandmother. Tamera has inherited this gift of giving and caring for others as well. Tamera also has a very very hard time asking for help. This is exactly why I decided I needed to create this page so we can all now help Tamera and Diane! Tamera has had more than enough on her plate for many years now emotionally and financially watching her Mom progress thru this tragic disease and now is forced with the daunting task of providing and paying for a beautiful service to honor her.
Sadly due to Alzheimer's Tamera was forced to move Diane to a private Alzheimer's care facility back in November 2015 so she could get the care she desperately needed which has not been easy emotionally or financially on Tamera. I have watched my Best Friend Tamera do everything in her power to keep her Mom as comfortable as she could be in her last years, days and minutes. This unfortunately has meant she has also taken on the financial burden of helping to pay for her Mother's care and medical expenses each month for quite some time and is now trying to figure out how to pay for a funeral and all of her outstanding medical bills from the last 6-8 weeks prior to her passing.
There will be a viewing at St. Cecilia's on Bainbridge Island, WA on July 18th from 10:00-11:00 AM followed by Mass at 11:00 and then a reception also at St. Cecilia's.
There will then be a burial service at Tahoma National Cemetary in Kent, WA on July 19th at 1:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers we are asking loved ones, friends and family of Diane and Tamera to consider donating here to help Tamera cover Diane's funeral expenses and outstanding medical bills.
