I have debated this, if you know me at all, you will know why. Noehmi has passed away, I have lost my light, forever is no longer elusive, it showed me in the cruelest of fashions. I don’t question God; I just simply question why? Why her, why the most beautiful light.

I beat my chest until it hurt. Why not all these backstabbing, lying, money hungry false people? There are so many to choose from. Why the good? Why a 24-year-old new mother? Why my baby? Was it my debt she paid? I will never know. but I will feel it until I too am put in the ground.

To act on the best version of myself, all I will be is thankful, thankful to have been her mother, to have spent those last 2 years fighting her illnesses, she was a warrior, she smiled trough unimaginable pain, she even told jokes.

Noehmi had a weak heart for which she wore a life vest, she had diabetes and she was in stage 4 kidney disease for which she was on dialysis. She had just gone to South Korea perfectly pregnant and perfectly healthy. She came home and got ready for another trip, she went for her checkup and never left the hospital again until they took her baby at 28 weeks, all the other conditions manifested after.

Noehmi kept going, she was a fighter! she finished school, got in nursing school but never got the chance to tell anyone, and had so many plans for her and her beautiful son Nakai. She was hopeful about her transplant and nothing but positive at all times, she never once said "why me? she never cried or felt sorry for herself. I will try to remember that instead of her slumped lifeless body connected to a malfunctioning dialysis machine.

There are so many questions. For now, please join me in remembering her, remember Nini, your little sister, your friend, your confidant, your fashion consultant who would never let you leave not looking your best.

Please tell me good things, memories, stories. Anything. If you knew Noehmi, you loved her, because she was love. Please Send your blessings to her son Nakai as he and we will miss her dearly.

Because of the unexpected nature of these tragic events, We are asking our community, family, and anyone that has been blessed by the presence of Noehmi for your help to ensure that she is laid to rest in the manner she deserves.

Her prior Insurance policy was cut off due to the severity of her terminal illness. she had stage 4 kidney disease, and the insurance company chose not to renew her policy which has affected us greatly.

Every blessing helps. I am grateful to each and every one of you who knew and loved her and have supported her throughout her lifetime. To those who choose to even put a dollar towards her home going we thank you with full hearts and so much gratitude

Peace and Love - Quenby
