Tony Perez Jr hasn't added a story.
Just three days before her 57th birthday, my mother Laura Gallarzo was taken from my family after spending the last years of her life in and out of the hospital.
She fought a 20 year battle against diabetes, kidney failures, a leg amputation and every complication that comes with it. Hospital scare after hospital scare, my mother overcame every hurdle.
Being her only child in the States, my family's funds have progressively depleted after each hospital visit. We need all the help we can get for the cremation funds to lay her to rest at sea where she has always dreamed of being -- free from all the doctors and sicknesses that took over her life. My mom is free, and although I'll spend every day missing her, it helps me to know that she is no longer in pain.
She was also a friend, a grandmother and the strongest woman I will ever have had the pleasure of knowing, and she will definitely never be forgotten.
