In Memory of Carmen Lydia Rivera

This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. My family has been taking blow after blow these pass years. First our brother Tony then his daughter Marisol and now our Queen. This one definitely hits different. She passed away in her sleep yesterday morning. We are all devastated and trying to come to terms with this immensive loss. She was the pillar of our family. To know her was to love her. She wore her heart on her sleeves. Every year on Christmas and Thanksgiving she would not only cook for us but she would make enough food to share with our neighbors. It was her tradition. She will be missed by everyone. 

I'm writing to ask you to support me and my family to give our Queen the send off she truly deserves. Just a small donation can help us reach our goal. Your donation will go towards her funeral arrangements and flowers.

Sincerely,

The Velazquez family.
