Personal note from Virgo, Ylani, Christine and Don

For the safety and concern for our loved ones, this will be a PRIVATE in-person memorial service for immediate family members only. Family, friends and colleagues please WATCH HERE at 4pm MST: [Link has been removed. Please contact Virgo, Ylani, Christine, or Don if you wish to watch the recording.]

Our family is forever grateful and blessed by the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. We are truly humbled.

Losing a wife, a mother, a Lola (grandmother), a relative and a friend has been very difficult and painful, but it's been made a little easier surrounded by our community of loved ones. We pray for her soul as she reaches Eternal Light.

Our hearts and prayers go out to those that are suffering or have suffered with COVID-19, the loved ones that patiently support them, and the healthcare workers for doing their best to save lives.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, planned events will have limited attendance. Please refer to the Events tab for more details.

We will have a ZOOM Celebration of Life to honor her memory with family and friends at a later date. We would love to hear your stories and memories with Aurora over the years, photos and videos welcome! More to come on the date and time.

We love you all.
