On January 6, 2024 at 1:42 pm, my grandmother, Tata, has gained her wings. She had been fighting since December 30th, but her body gave up on us. After a long fight, she is finally at peace and no longer in pain.

Tata was a very strong, independent little lady ( a fireball, if you will). Everywhere she went, she made friends. She was the definition of “you can have nothing yet everything”.

This is not what I wanted to do bringing in the new year, but unfortunately here I am doing a GoFundMe to assist my dad, uncle & family with funeral expenses. Any type of donation would help at this time.

Death is truly unexpected and having to raise cash in such a limited time, I am hoping all friends and family could understand.

Thank you in advance, we all appreciate this.
