Our family is devastated by the tragic and senseless loss of my little sister, Veronica Lopez, who was taken from us far too soon at just 24 years old. She was the youngest of five girls, full of life, love, and dreams for the future. Her smile could light up a room, and she had a way of making everyone around her feel loved and valued. She was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and so much more to those who knew her. The pain of losing her is unimaginable, and our hearts are broken.

On Thursday, our family received the devastating news that Veronica's life was cut short as the result of a domestic violence incident. What should have been an ordinary day turned into a nightmare that no family should ever have to endure. We are now left trying to navigate the overwhelming grief of losing someone we loved so deeply.

As we mourn her loss, we are also facing the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses, along with the unexpected costs that come with such a tragic event. We are asking for any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser, to help ease some of that burden during this incredibly difficult time. Every contribution will go toward honoring her memory and giving her the beautiful farewell she deserves. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support. Please keep our family in your thoughts as we try to find strength through this heartbreaking loss. Forever 24. Forever loved. Forever missed.
