In Loving Memory of Raquel Maria Castro-Padilla

We are heartbroken to share that our dear Raquel has passed away after her brave battle with cancer. She was a beloved wife, mother, and friend, and her loss leaves a huge hole in the hearts of all who knew her.

Raquel was a kind, loving person who always put others first. To know her is to love her. She loved to connect with people and talked to everyone she met! She dedicated her life to her family, and her love and warmth touched everyone who met her. Now, the family is facing not only the emotional loss but also the financial burden of covering funeral and memorial expenses. Before she passed, she specifically requested to be buried and have a service and did not wish to be cremated.

We are kindly asking for donations to help cover the cost of her funeral, final arrangements, and any other related expenses. This will allow the family to focus on honoring her memory and grieving without the added stress of financial strain.

How You Can Help:

Any amount, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. Your donations will directly go toward:

• Funeral home services

• Burial costs

• Memorial service expenses

• Other related fees

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Raquel will be deeply missed, but her legacy will live on in her children, husband, and all those who loved her. We will be posting future updates once arrangements are made.

With gratitude and a heavy heart,

The Velazquez Family & Mariah Parker
