Our beloved Maria Saleski

Today, December 17, our family suffered a great tragic loss. We still cant believe it. Maria Santoyo was a beloved daughter, friend, aunt, cousin and most of all a dedicated mother. My sister and cousin, my best friend was tragically taken from us today before her time. Mari meant meant so much to many of us but most of all her 5 children. We lost a big part of ourselves hearing this tragic news. Even though our bodies feel numb and we are shattered to pieces, we find peace in knowing she is in heaven watching over her children with our mother. Mari was a happy free spirit that was always willing to lend a helping hand to a friend in need. She was strong , independent and always worked hard for what she had, Mari would go to through fire for her children without hesitation. 

With the blessing of her daughter Bri, Her sister Sandra and I set up this gofundme page to help cover the funeral expenses. Mari deserves something beautiful. Anything you are willing to donate would be greatly appreciated. 

Today we lost you, you were a beautiful soul Mari. As your baby cousin and your little sister, we vow to be there for the kids. Always. You were the one person we knew we could always count on. We love you and we will always miss you. We are left with shattered hearts a broken souls. May you rest in heavenly peace Mari.
