Hey everyone. It’s with heavy hearts that we announce our grandmother, Bartola Gonzalez, has passed away. She was an amazing grandmother who cared for all her grandkids, especially during tough times in our family. To each of us, she was like a second mother, always offering love, support, and wisdom when we needed it most.

Her last few days were filled with agony, so while we are mourning her loss, we also find comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and that the Lord has welcomed her into His heavenly arms. As we come to terms with our grief, we are also faced with the responsibility of planning her burial and managing all the expenses that come with it. We want to send her off in the most dignified and heartfelt way she deserved, and we are reaching out to our family, friends, and community for support.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated and will help us honor Bartola’s memory. My family will also be starting our novena for her, so if you would like to pray along on your own time or say a prayer for our family, we would be deeply grateful. Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers during this difficult time.
