It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Patricia Di Ruocco. If you knew Patricia, you knew there was no one like her. As her daughter Isabella says: "Thank you Mom for always being the cool Mom. I developed my love of reading, art, travel and rescuing animals through you. We had so many amazing memories of head banging to the Ramones and Rolling Stones, rafting on the river and fighting over sharing clothes."


During this difficult time I am reaching out to Patricia and Isabella's friends and family for help. Isabella is devastated by this loss and was not prepared for the high costs of laying her mother to rest.

Please consider donating, if you are able to do so. We are so very grateful for every donation during this difficult time.
