It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Negrita (Aridia) on December 7, 2025. As some of us tried to be prepared, one can never really be prepared for this immense loss. We’ve created a donation fund to help cover expenses for funeral costs, as Negrita’s final wish was to have a viewing/service here and one in Dominican Republic. With her final resting place being in Esperanza, DR. If you find it in your heart to donate, please do so here. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
