I hate to be the bringer of bad news. With a heavy, heavy heart I regret to say that Rhonda Beltran-James passed away at the age of 46 last Thursday on November 6th. She is survived by her 5 children and several family members who love her and will miss her very much. Her children Jesse 28, Junior 27, Francisca 21, Carlitos 16, and her youngest Bella who is 10 years old are in need of help to pay for her final expenses and help for her two displaced children that will be staying with one of their siblings.

For the past five years, Rhonda had been through a lot of hardships and pain and now she is at rest in heaven. Her husband was deported and she was left to care for her children without him. Rhonda also lost an infant to SIDS and was going through a lot of grief and loss. She had to have both of her hips replaced and was unable to live a normal life which was full of heartache and pain.

Above all else, Rhonda was so strong and an inspiration to her children and family. She chose to have a higher belief and always put others' needs before her own. She was an incredible woman who believed in family and forgiveness. She had a beautiful relationship with the Lord and was always there for others when they needed help. Rhonda was an amazing mother who always put her children first and her children who have grown up now are incredible people because of how she raised them. Her two youngest children definitely need help because of the loss of their mom. They are surrounded by an awesome support system however, with this happening they are going to need some help.

Please consider helping our family. We are all incredibly sad and filled with grief. Every donation is a true blessing and will be used to help pay for her final expenses and help her children adjust to the changes they are facing.
