Maria passed away today at 11:45 a.m.
While we knew this was the likeliest outcome of the diagnosis she received in November, the swiftness of her passing has shocked us all. Her condition took a sudden and severe turn over only the past 48 hours.
Yesterday the oncologist told her that there was nothing more he could do, and sent her home with instructions for hospice. Maria became increasingly weak and disoriented and in pain. Hospice never arrived. This morning, her children, grandchildren, and husband said their goodbyes.
Please avoid texting or calling the family for the next day or two; we're very overwhelmed and trying to deal with the next steps. We will post again with information about any services.
