Help Mando and the Boys!

On the morning of July 10th, our sweet and beautiful Christine died peacefully in her sleep. We are beyond confused, devastated and heartbroken to say the very least. She was the actual heartbeat of any party, larger than life and stopped at nothing to ensure her families’ and friends’ happiness and success. Her early departure from this life will undoubtedly be the most shocking turning point in the lives of all those who were closest to her. Most of all, her loving and adoring husband and sweet boys. Mando has been left with several overwhelming and monumental tasks-the hardest of which will be continuing on with their boys, alone. In addition to making hard choices surrounding their home and their café, he has been burdened with the unbelievable task of planning her funeral, which as you know can be very expensive. They were days away from opening their dream café in Pasadena-the Cordova Café and Bottle Shop-and unfortunately every dollar they have is tied up in its opening and future success. Please join me in helping Mando ensure his beautiful wife is properly laid to rest, and whatever costs are associated with her funeral, any therapies he and the boys will undoubtedly need, and whatever else he may need in these first few weeks of heartbreaking transition. This will also help take some burden off of Christine’s loving parents who are now burying their 3rd child. To her last surviving sibling James, we love you and are here for you. Christine loved and appreciated you fiercely. We love you Mando, AJ and Brandon and while nothing can bring back our sweet Christine, we hope to help alleviate any financial hardships you encounter. Memorial info coming soon.
