It is heavy with our hearts that we share the passing of my mom, Vanessa Cantu, who left us on August 17, 2025.

My mom was the type of person everyone could count on—always present, always giving, and always ready with a warm heart and a great laugh. A hands-on mom and devoted grandmother, she was the rock of our family and a source of wisdom and comfort to so many. No matter what she had going on, she made time for others and gave great advice that truly made a difference. Her kindness, humor, and selflessness touched everyone who knew her.

Her absence leaves a deep void that will be felt by so many whose lives she touched. Mom, your presence, your laughter, your singing, and unconditional love will be truly missed—more than words can ever express.

We are raising funds to help cover the cost of her funeral, memorial services, and other related expenses. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to me and our family during this painful time. Thank you for your love, support, and kindness.
