David Juliao - Realtor

On Tuesday, December 9th at 7:58pm, we lost my mom — the most loving and generous woman I’ve ever known. Her beautiful soul returned home to God, and my heart feels both shattered and yet strangely full of the countless memories she gave me.

These past two years of her stage 4 cancer diagnosis were filled with struggle, with these last 3 weeks being excruciatingly hard as her pain was constant. I am so grateful she is finally free from all her torment and suffering. Right now I’m holding sadness and gratitude together, because losing her hurts more than words, but knowing she’s at peace brings comfort deeper than I expected.

My sister hardly left her side, caring for her with unwavering devotion, and I did the best I could — because bearing witness to her prolonged agony overwhelmed and consumed me at times. Thinking back of all of her silent suffering for years before the diagnosis breaks my heart. But every moment near her, every quiet breath, every smile she gave me, every soft touch, and every kiss I gave her was an honor I will carry forever.

Please join me in remembering the beautiful, resilient, fiercely loving woman she was - a mom who gave deeply, loved fiercely, and left a legacy of kindness that will never fade. I know that her spirit is now surrounded by love with God at her side. Thank you Marlene for the loving me the best way you knew how. I love you deeply and am forever your son. In Love and In Light.
