Funeral Expenses for Maria Mendoza

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that our beloved sister, mother, grandmother, and aunt has passed away. Anyone who knew Maria, understood why we all loved her so deeply. Maria grew up in North Hollywood along with her four other siblings and was the eldest daughter of Carmen Garcia and Santiago Mendoza. As the eldest daughter, Maria took care and helped raise her younger siblings and eventually helped raise her eldest niece.

Maria leaves behind eight children. Angie, Wendy, Stephanie, Anthony, Gono, Melissa, George, and Armando. Five of her children are still young, with the youngest child being only five. Maria’s passing came as a harsh blow to her family, especially her smaller children. Her family is working together now to try to organize her funeral and help take care of her remaining children.

Death allows us to understand that no one is perfect. Death forces us to look back at all the good times we had with those that passed. For many of us, the good times with Maria are too much to count. We hope to continue on with her memory and help ensure that her children are looked after.

If you are able to and wish to help with Maria’s funeral expenses, her family and children would greatly appreciate it. We understand if you are not able to donate, and just ask everyone to keep Maria and her children in your prayers.

Maria has joined her mother and father in heaven. We hope they continue to watch over us and guide us through our life’s harshest struggles.

John 14:17

“Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried or upset; do not be afraid.”
