Blanca & Juan Rodriguez

Juan Manuel Rodriguez Sr and Blanca Estela Rodriguez were high school sweethearts who met in junior high. They were married  soon after high school and had 4 wonderful children and 6 grandchildren. They both contracted Covid about 3 weeks ago and went to separate  hospitals.  Not  long after that, on Sunday February 7th, Juan took a turn for the worse. Even though  he was on a ventilator, we were able to say our last goodbyes to him via zoom. Not long after that, we got a call about Blanca  saying she was not doing well and they had to put her on a ventilator as well. The Dr. called a few hours later and said she didn't respond to the ventilator and there was nothing else they could do for her. Blanca passed away at 12:30  am on Monday February 8th. A few hours after that, we got another call about Juan saying that he is declining and we must come to the hospital. Unfortunately Juan passed away before we got there at 4:18 am on the same day as Blanca. Losing one parent is bad enough, but losing them both on the same day has been  both devastating and heartbreaking. We have peace in knowing that since they were always together in life, they could not be apart in death as well. We are asking for donations for funeral expenses for these wonderful lovebirds, which will take place within a week.
