Valerie Arnold- funeral expenses

Hi, my name is Linda Gutierrez and I am fundraising for my Mom Valerie Arnold.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my Mom, who is survived by her 5 kids, Alexis, Adrian, Linda, Angelique and Vanesa. The night of December 29th, Valerie passed away in the hospital due to her heart failure. After almost 20 years of dealing with her heart complications, health issues, multiple heart surgeries and constant doctor's visits, she always fought for her husband and kids. In the end, she grew very tired and joined my Dad in heaven. A part of her had left the night my Dad, Adrian Gutierrez, died almost three years ago, and it brings us comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain or hurting, and she is being guided by my Dad to meet God. Valerie was a bright light for everyone that knew her, with her laugh, constant jokes, and loud voice. She never failed to make those around her smile. She was a very headstrong woman, and always fought for what she believed was right. She loved deeply, and everyone who felt this love by her knew that it was very strong and heavy. I am going to miss her voice, her coming to all my games and events, how excited she got to watch us achieve our goals, how she never failed to make me feel better, and ultimately a mother's love. She will be greatly missed by many. With this, Valerie wanted to be buried at Rose hills cemetery, and we hope to fulfill any and all wishes for her. All money donated will go to Valerie's funeral expenses, and to her children. Anything helps, and is greatly appreciated. I know my Mom and Dad, Adrian and Valerie, are very thankful for everyones love and support toward us during this difficult time.

-Thank you and God bless
