Help Us Honor Gloria Stephens' Final Wishes

Our names are Gloria and Sonia and we are the daughters of Gloria Stephens. Our mother died unexpectedly, after a brief hospitalization over the weekend, which has devastated our entire family! She was our rock and the pain we are experiencing right not is indescribable. We have a brother who is currently in Venezuela and we are trying to figure out logistics of getting him here to attend the funeral. The timing of this tragedy has also left us without the financial means to bury her properly. Our mother was a devout Catholic and the one thing that she wanted upon death was to be buried in a casket with angels and to have a church mass. The cost of all this is more than we can afford right now but we want to grant our mom her dying wishes.

Gloria Stephens was not only our mom but a treasured resident of South Miami. She was known for her positive attitude and perpetual smile. Mom was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need and uplifted so many people in her community. Her absence will be a tremendous loss to those who knew her.

We are humbly asking for any donation big or small to help with funeral costs. Our mother is pictured above with her only grandson who just graduated from South Miami High School and received a full merit scholarship to college. The pride she had with his achievements was palpable and her smile in the picture above is what we will remember most. Thank you in advance for any support you can provide.
