Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I'm reaching out to you today with a heavy heart but also with hope and determination. My beloved grandma, Ernestine Marin, has always been the pillar of our family—a source of love, wisdom, and strength. Throughout her whole life, she has given everything for family and is survived by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She got to see the next generations and was loved.

Recently, she had been facing challenges of significant health problems and findings of cancer. This had taken a toll physically and mentally for her, and she stayed strong till the end with her support of family.

We are launching this GoFundMe to help cover funeral/memorial expenses but to also help relieve financial burden for my grandfather who is mourning. They were married for 49 years.

We appreciate any contribution; no matter how small, it makes a difference. If you can't donate, we still thank you for taking the time to read this and possibly share. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

I will continue to update this as she has passed on 2/18/25 and family will be planning funeral. We will provide date of service once planned.
