Blessing the Ortiz family

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the passing of our sister in Christ Juanita Lajara Ortiz.

On September 2, 2022 Juanita Lajara Ortiz was admitted to Good Sam Hospital in West Islip due to loss of movement in her legs and and weakness. Over the next week and a half Juanita experienced a slew of symptoms which eventually lead to her being placed on a ventilator and eventually having a tracheotomy performed. Sadly, Juanita passed away on the evening of September 14th at Good Sam Hospital in West Islip.

We thank all who prayed for Juanita while she was in the hospital and we thank all who continue to pray for her family as they suffer this great loss.

This GoFundMe is to help the Ortiz family with the medical, funeral and general expense that they need help with. Thank you for your financial support as the family is going through this difficult time.

“Sometimes God picks a flower that's still in full bloom.

Sometimes the flower that is chosen, we feel He's picked too soon.

We're at peace knowing; in God's heavenly garden, He has placed the ones we treasure.

You have changed our lives forever.”
