The viewing for Issa will be held on Saturday, December 13 from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM, with a Mass of Christian Burial to begin at 10:30 AM, at Holy Angels Catholic Church, 82 Possum Park Rd, Newark, DE, 19711.

Maria Clarissa Ilagan Romero, lovingly known as Issa, was the heart and soul of the Romero family. A devoted wife to George and a dedicated mother to Elise, Josh, and Timothy, she was also a loving grandmother to Theo and Jules. Issa was the cornerstone of faith and love in her family, always leading with compassion and unwavering belief in God’s plan. Her presence brought warmth, strength, and unity to everyone around her.

On November 26, Issa was admitted to the hospital with chest pains and unusual lab results. Despite the best efforts of her medical team, she suffered a brain bleed on December 1 and passed away on December 2, surrounded by her loving family. The suddenness of her loss has left the Romero family in deep pain and shock, as they try to come to terms with life without their beloved wife, mother, and grandmother.

The Romero family now faces significant expenses, including funeral costs and medical bills, as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. Your support will help ease their financial burden and allow them to focus on healing together. Thank you all so much for your generosity towards the Romero family. They are deeply grateful for the love and support of their family, friends, and community, whose kindness and prayers help give them strength during this time.
