In memory of my Loving Mother Carlotta Fernandez

My name is Uriel some of my Social Media Family may know me as Uri, yesterday at approximately 1:29 pm my Soul shattered as the Queen of my life my Mom my everything Carlotta Fernandez took her last breath.

For the past two years, my mom has been battling congestive heart failure and diabetes. With the support of her family including Myself, my Sister, Two Brothers, and 4 Grand Children she was navigating through. All was in check until approximately 4 days ago when she complained of not feeling well so we took her to the emergency room at Kaiser Hospital in West Los Angeles and found out her kidneys were failing.

The doctor informed us that due to my Moms weak heart she was not a suitable candidate for dialysis but advised the following:

She couldn't provide a timeline on life but without dialysis, she estimated days, with dialysis maybe weeks but that fluid retention and risk for heart failure would increase but would enable us to take my Mom home and have her live out her last days in the best conditions outside of a hospital.

I went to speak with my Mom about it and she replied to me" Mijo (Son), you know what's best for me, if you want me to do dialysis I'll do it just organize it as I don't want to talk to the doctors. I told her I would, kissed her on the forehead, and said " As soon as we are out of here Mom I'm going to take you to the Casino. (Her favorite place) to which she replied "I look forward to it, I'm going to show you how to win" I replied "Absolutely, I'll see you in a little bit. Erica (My sister) is here with Hennessy (Grandchild) I'm going to get a quick bite and they will take over the visitation. (2 person max)

Shortly after, My sister called me. I answered mid-bite into my sandwich replying with what is up Caranala (Sister)? She replied in a crackling distraught voice "Get here now, Moms is Dying!" My heart sank, I bulleted back to the hospital running straight to my Moms room and found my Sister and my Niece (Grandchild) in shambles over the body of my lifeless Mom. My heart sank knowing she passed without me present and thoughts of never having her again stormed across my soul. Concepts such as I should have given her a better life, I'm never going hear her sweet voice say "I love you" again, and that I lost my only parent forever.

I informed the rest of my family on what occurred, crying in unison with all who were informed. (I never cried so hard in my life, laying down next to my lifeless mom, holding her hand, begging God to bring her back. Kissing her forehead tell her TY for everything she did for me.)

After grieving time maxed out, we had to leave and were informed by Kaiser that we only had 5 days as of this morning to have my mom's body released to our selected funeral home/morgue.

Current Situation:

We are currently working with a Broker to secure her plot and have tours of funeral homes slated through Thursday and a plot tour slated for Friday. My siblings and I are putting our funds together in a crunch in an attempt to have all this hashed out ASAP but I know help will still be needed. If you can find it in your heart to donate whatever you can, I and my family would truly appreciate it.

Words of Remembrance:

My mom Carlotta Fernandez was born on February 17, 1949, in Michoacan Mexico. She moved to the United States at the early age of 18, not knowing a word of English, but with a strong desire to accomplish the American Dream. She naturalized shortly after, evolving into an independent queen specializing in hospice care, and ultimately raising 4 children single Handley.

My mom was forced to be both Mom & Dad to three Sons and one Daughter. She did everything she could to provide us with the life she never had and allotted us an environment/support/opportunity to succeed in life. She loved God, her family, her dog, and everyone within our family circle. (Extended friends and family. Especially mine)

Thank you, mommy, for being the best mom I could ever have asked for. Thank you for always being there for me no matter what. And thank you for defining what a True Queen is meant to be like. I love you, momma, I miss you, and IDK how I'm going to continue without you. I love you so much. Mi Corzaon Duele Tanto. (My heart hurts so much)

Till I see you again Madre. (Mom)
