Support for Maria Silvia Otero's Final Farewell

Dear Family and Friends,

On November 5th, 2024, our mother Maria Silvia Otero took her last breath. Her arduous fight with breast cancer has come to an end; while she fought long and hard, it was just too much for her body to endure. Maria Silvia Otero was a kind, caring, and loving daughter, sister, tia, mother, and most importantly grandmother. We were all blessed to know her, whether it was during her Tempo days as she served up some “happy coffee,” or just by the awesome family woman she was, her smile and laughter will surely be missed. Silvia was genuinely one of a kind woman, she was slow to anger and quick to forgive. This matriarch can never be replaced, but we will truly do our best to keep her legacy alive.

Unfortunately, her passing comes so close to our brother’s passing, we'd like to thank you for your condolences and prayers. We ask for continued prayers as this is the biggest challenge our family has endured yet. Any donation at this time will be greatly appreciated as we are trying to give our mother the best going home we can.

“There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.”

May our mother's light continue to bring love, joy, and peace into each of our lives as we remember her.

Thank you for considering this request. Your kindness and support is invaluable to us.

Sincerely,

The Otero/Leyva/Linares Family
