It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share the tragic loss of our sister, Rose Angela (Alvarez) Pena , daughter of Dave and Rose Cowperthwaite. She was the victim of a hit-and-run accident on April 23, 2024.

Our family, including her extended family in Hanford, California, is devastated. No one prepares you for this type of loss. We are not prepared - emotionally, mentally, or financially - for this.

Our sister left behind her two very beautiful and young daughters, Anaya Alvarez, 9 and Jaylynn Cerna, 5.

We humbly request your assistance in raising funds to prepare for her memorial and funeral services.

Any remaining donations will be set aside for her children.

We appreciate any assistance you are able to provide.

With eternal gratitude and humble hearts,

Chere (sister); Ricardo Jr, James Gregory, Joseph, Michael and Gilbert (brothers); Anaya and Jaylynn (daughters)
