"In Loving Memory of Richard – Funeral Support"

Update* 04/22/25

It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved brother-in-law, Richard. After a courageous battle and over two months of fighting with strength and grace, God called him home. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that Richard is now resting in peace.

During this time, we are coming together as a family to support our sister, Maria, who has not been able to work while caring for Richard day and night. As we prepare for his final farewell, we are asking for donations to help with funeral costs and to ease some of the financial burden Maria now faces.

Above all, we ask for your prayers — for Richard’s soul to rest peacefully, and for Maria and their son Johnny to find comfort, strength, and peace in the days ahead.

Thank you for your love, kindness, and support during this difficult time.

Dear Family and Friends,

With heavy hearts, we want to share that my brother-in-law, Richard, was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer on February 18th. He is currently receiving treatment at City of Hope, and during this challenging time, our main concern is supporting my sister, Maria, so she can focus entirely on being by his side.

More than anything, we ask for your prayers—for his healing, for strength, and for comfort during this journey. We also humbly ask for any monetary support you may be able to offer to help alleviate financial stress for Maria. This will allow her to dedicate her energy to caring for her husband without the added burden of financial worries.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, would be a tremendous blessing, but above all, your prayers and love mean the world to us. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and continued support.

With gratitude,

Silvia Bautista and the entire Lopez and Leyva Families
