With a heavy heart, we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Stephanie Denise Colon. She was a beloved niece, daughter, mother, and friend who touched the lives of all in her orbit. Stephanie was a kind soul who would give you what little she had left if you needed it. She leaves behind 5-year old Jayden, who Stephanie adored and treasured beyond measure. Stephanie dreamed of getting him into a good school where he can thrive and achieve his greatest heights of education and learning. Jayden is in the foster care system, and we are currently in the process of adopting him.

Stephanie struggled in life but smiled through it all. Her dream was to become a medical assistant and help those in need. We would like to honor her properly, but we are struggling to achieve this financially.

On behalf of Stephanie’s grieving mother, Denise Rodriguez, we are requesting donations to assist with her final arrangements. We would like to lay her to rest. Any small donation is warmly and graciously appreciated in this time of need. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and participation.

May God continue to bless you all.

Vanessa Rodriguez and Candice Lopez on Behalf of Denise Rodriguez
