We’re heartbroken to share that Laura Santiesteban, Pookie’s beloved wife, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Laura was an incredible woman — a loving wife, devoted mother, and someone who brought warmth and kindness to everyone around her. Her loss has left a deep void in the hearts of her family and friends, and the days ahead will be challenging as they try to navigate life without her.

Laura touched so many lives with her generosity and compassion. She was always the first to offer a helping hand, Always supporting friends in need, or simply sharing a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. Her memory will live on in the countless people she inspired and the love she gave so freely.

During this incredibly difficult time, we’re asking for help to support the family with funeral and memorial expenses. Any amount helps, no matter how small, It would mean so much and help lift some of the burden from the family as they grieve. Please keep Pookie, their children, and the entire family in your prayers. If you’re able to give or share this post, it would truly be appreciated. Thank you for all the love and support.
