A las 3 de la madrugada del 28 de diciembre me despertó una llamada del doctor con un informe destrozante. Mi mamá había llegado al reino de Dios. Estos cuatro años pesados sin ella en casa se terminaron de manera abrupta. Perdimos una madre, una esposa, una abuela, la mejor amiga – el espíritu que guió nuestra familia, y la persona más apasionada que hemos conocido.
El derrame cerebral que sufrió el 13 de febrero del 2017 nos obligó a una transición a un nuevo “normal.” Mi mamá sonreía, reía, y lloraba en su cama de hospital cada vez que la visitábamos o se enviaban flores. Era feliz al saber que todos la apoyaban y esperaban que regresaría a su hogar. Gracias por no olvidarla.
Mi mamá fue la única de nuestra familia que no sufrió de COVID. Desafortunadamente no pudo evadir la pulmonía. Nunca pensé que este día llegara. Su futuro incluía ver sus nietos crecer, sus hijas prosperar, y su esposo envejecer. Ella es todo que yo aspiraba ser, y es el tipo de mujer que deseo ser. Mi mamá llenaba cada cuarto con alegría y risa en maneras inesperadas. Era dulce, simpática, y humanitaria. Ella no dudaba en apoyar a un familiar o cualquier amigo que necesitaba ánimo o ayuda. Ella es mi héroe, y era la felicidad de sus nietos, la fortaleza de su esposo, y la luz mía y de Ingrid. No habrá un día sin que yo no piense en su presencia. Nunca fallaré en que sea orgullosa de mi. Y nunca dejaré de compartir memorias de ella y su legado. Duele tanto escribir esto, pero sinceramente siento que ella estará con nosotros cada dia guiándonos en el camino de la vida.
Hemos publicado esta página para que todos podamos despedirnos de ella y apoyar a nuestra familia durante esta transición. Todos los fondos recaudados serán para los gastos médicos y del entierro. Sabemos que este año ha sido difícil para varios, y no es obligatorio contribuir. Agradecemos su apoyo en cualquier forma. Gracias por todas las llamadas y textos. No nos olvidamos de todos ustedes que compartieron la risa, generosidad, y amor con mi mamá.
La vida sin ella nunca será igual. Pero todos nosotros -- sus hermanas y hermanos, primos, y amigos -- pueden honrarla al ser bondadosos y pacientes con cada uno en la manera que ella era con nosotros. Este año más que todos nos ha mostrado el valor de ser humanitarios y unidos como familia. Por favor sigan pensando y rezando por ella. Que descanse en paz Elva Navarro.

On December 28th, I was awakened by doctors at 3:30am with heartbreaking news. My mom fully transitioned into the hands of God. What has been a rough four years without her presence at home ended in the most abrupt way possible. We lost a mom, a wife, a grandma, a best friend – the soul that guided my family, and the most compassionate person that any of us knew.
February 13, 2017, was a shocking day too. Her stroke that day forced us to transition into a new “normal.” The following four years have been the toughest of our lives, but we remained optimistic that one day she’d return home to us. I became her proxy. I stepped up as the youngest, to fight for her and dove into medical research to find a way to bring her back home to me. I challenged her doctors, kept up with medical care, etc. My life was forever changed. Hospital visits and flowers always made her smile. My favorite part was when I’d talk about her funny stories in the past and make jokes, and we’d laugh so hard, laugh-cry. Sadly my mom’s pneumonia went beyond the means of the medical staff. Monday’s call is a change I don’t think we’ll ever get used to.
I never believed this day would ever come. Her future was going to consist of watching her grandchildren grow, knowing her daughters would prosper, and watching her husband grow old. She is everything I aspire to be, the woman I want to become. The way she was able to fill a room with joy and laughter was unprecedented. She was so kind, and sympathetic, always putting others before herself. She would not hesitate to help when a loved one or a stranger needed assistance or support. She is our hero. She was her grandchildren's joy. She was her husband's strength. And, she was my and Ingrid’s light. There will not be a day I will not think about her. I will never stop making her proud. And, I will never stop telling stories about her, and about the legacy she left. As much as it hurts now typing this, I believe with all my heart she will be with us every day, guiding us in this walk of life.
We have created this page so that we can all find a way to say goodbye and support my family during this transition. All funds will help us cover medical and burial costs. We know that 2020 has been a tough year for many, and sincerely appreciate any contribution you wish to make. Thank you for all of your calls and texts. It reminds us of how many people my mom touched with her laughter, generosity, and love.
Life will never be the same without her. But all of us -- her sisters, brothers, cousins, and friends -- can honor her life by being compassionate and patient with each other in ways that she was with us. This year has more than ever taught us the value of caring for each other and staying united as family. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
May she rest in peace.
