Yesterday, our hearts shattered as we said goodbye to my sister, Dominique Petralia, who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Dominique was only 38 and so many more years of life to live. Dominique fought with strength, grace, and determination, but her body grew tired, and she is now at peace.

Dominique leaves behind her three young children and her wonderful partner Jim. Luca who is only 5, Nevaeh 16, and Geonni 18. She was the best mother she could be, doing everything she could to give them love, stability, and comfort—even while enduring the unimaginable challenges of her illness. Now, as our family navigates this painful loss, we are committed to ensuring that her children and Jim continue to have the care and support they need.

We are asking for help during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, as well as ongoing support for her children—covering essentials, childcare, and resources to help them adjust to life without their mother.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, means more than we can express. Your kindness will help honor Dominique’s memory and provide stability for the children she loved so deeply.

Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and for helping us carry forward Dominique’s love and legacy.
