On September 23, 2025, our family lost our beloved mother, grandmother and heart of our home, Elizabeth Marie Duarte. She was the heart of our family. She was strong, loving, and always ready to help others despite her own challenges. She battled diabetes, heart failure, and kidney failure, yet she never stopped showing love and care to those around her.

As we grieve her passing, we are also facing the unexpected financial burden of her cremation and the need to support our grandfather with household bills during this difficult time. We want to honor her memory in the way she deserves, and any contribution will help us do so while easing this burden on our family.

We are truly grateful for every prayer and donation.

With gratitude,

Duarte/Hanks Family
