It is with heavy hearts that, we as a family have to inform you all, our beloved Yesenia has passed away.

She is survived by her one and only son

At the moment we have more questions than answers.

No one can prepare for times like these, we are completely devastated. Her laughter, big heart, the way she faced the world Chin up- are leaving us with an emptiness. Please hold space for our beautiful Yesenia in all your hearts. Taken from us too soon. If you would like to help lay Yesenia to rest and honor her memory. We thank each and every one. We have been moved by those whom have reached out.

The pioneering Mendez Family are constructed of 1st generation Mexican Americans- from Hard working parents. Frontiers away from the homeland. This is Yesenia’s land and she will Remain in the US. The amount seems outlandish, but how do you put a price on a human being? The inexperience with these types of arrangements, her vulnerable son, and the initial shock of having to create this kind of account was humbling. Please spread the word. Anything helps.
