2019 is when we got the news no family should. "You have stage 4 cervical cancer. I'm sorry to say this, but from what we see you have 6 months to a year left to live." Our hearts dropped. It's like our whole world stopped. There's no way! There is absolutely no way. We went forward with the news, and rebuked all cancer. With months and months of tears, fasting, prayer, and begging God to heal our momma, he did. He healed her. After months of chemo/radiation the cancer was gone.

 

Now in year 2020, the cancer came back, but this time traveled up from her cervix up to her lungs. Again, in disbelieve we were devastated. Broken. Confused. The doctors gave her max 6 months, but the Lord gave her more. She pushed through, and 18 memerable months later she was still here with us.

 

With hope, we pushed on, she pushed on.

 

Devastating news again, November 2021, the doctors told her she has a short time left. With the cancer spreading rapidly, the doctor said it was highly invasive, it was everywhere, and gave her four-six months to live. She lived 2.

 

On December 29, 2021 at around 8:30 PM, our momma Mariana went to be with the Lord. He called her home.

 

During her last moments, she stayed up to be able to say I love you to everyone even though she was extremely exhausted, not just from sleep deprivation, but from the cancer slowly shutting down her organs.

 

She was a fighter. 3 1/2 years. The Lord extended her time here on earth for us. She fought and stayed strong. Strong in faith never giving up on believing that the Lord will heal her. Till her last breath she believed.   

Mom raised 8 Children who loved the lord, and she is now reunited with 2 of them.
Mom who showed us no matter what, what unconditional love looked like.
Mom wife, mother, sister, friend. Dad she loved you dearly. And I can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling. 

 

We all love her and miss her so much. She was a wonderful mother, the best mother at that. Our mom was someone who prayed and encouraged everyone and anyone. She had the sweetest soul, and she was the best mother we could ever ask for. Oh we could write so very much about our momma.

 

With that, I want to leave you with; From the bottom of our hearts, we have not enough words to thank you. For taking your time out of your days to say a prayer. to reach out. and pour love over us. Thank you to all who fasted, cried, and begged God with us. His will was done. My mom appreciated every single one of you. My the Lord repay you all with nothing but blessings. We love you all.

 

 

Many have reached out to help financially, and this is the best way to do so.

If you have it on your heart to help cover any hospital/funeral costs, we would forever be thankful.

 

 

Revelations 21:4

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
