As much as I hate to sit down and write this, I have to. Abel fell short to a sickness that completely over powered him, and as we prepared and expected it, it did not hurt any less. Two days later, my mom Monica, had a heart attack that took her life in her sleep. Dealing with the loss of two parents back to back is something no one should ever go through. I don’t wish this pain on anyone. They touched so many hearts. They left a positive impact on everyone. They loved hard, they laughed even harder, and I am extremely grateful everyone got to experience them the same way we did.

My nana does not work, and Bryce and I just can’t take this on by ourselves. We are all full of grief, hurt, and anger. But while feeling all that, all we want to do is do what my mom and Abel wanted. Which was to buried in Texas next to their loved ones. Abel in Bishop, my mom in Kingsville. Financially, this just isn’t something we can do alone.

Services will not be done until we get them, and us back to Texas to respect their wishes. I understand with holidays right around the corner, some people just may not be able to help. But if you can, I sit here and kindly ask to help us through this immensely difficult time. A dollar or a prayer goes an extremely long way. Thank you to every single one of you.
