Personal note from Juoy

Mom's ashes were blessed yesterday at St. Nicolas of Myra in Orlando. It was her favorite church. Father Pignato came to give her a private blessing with just us present. It was the one thing Mom was adamant about before she passed away, I am so glad that we were able to fulfill her wish.

The Celebration of Life is coming to fruition, thanks to you all. Your donations are SO appreciated. There is a very pretty little restaurant in Tucson that will cater and host her celebration in November. I will post more information here, please let me know if you can attend.

Updates

Update from Nov. 22, 2023

Last night, we celebrated Jude at CharroVida in Tucson, AZ. It was a wonderful evening filled with friends and family who had not reunited in decades. With photos of Mom dispersed throughout the venue, I could catch glimpses of her face all night. It was a reunion filled with hugs, laughter, memories, and much-needed catching up. Mom would have been proud. I hope her spirit knows that this was all for her, that all these beautiful people came to celebrate her.

Last night and our trip to Tucson would have been impossible without your support. I will be forever thankful that we were all able to give Jude the memorial she deserved. I could not have done it without you. Thank you so much.

We will return to Florida tomorrow with hopes of returning to Arizona soon. We will not allow decades to pass without seeing family and friends again. The experience has indeed allowed my heart to begin healing. I will never forget your love and support through this difficult time. We love you all.
