So, I haven't really mentioned it here, but my little sister had been going through cancer. We lost her on Monday. We set up a Go Fund Me page for them as my brother in law was also laid off last week and they also got the news that their landlord plans to sell the home they had been renting, and they have to be out of there by July 15. Below is the post I made on Facebook letting everyone know and explaining what happened. If you would, please share her Go Fund Me page on social media and please donate if you can.
Here is her obituary.

She faught a hard battle with it for 2 years 4 months and 29 days. She was an awesome 34 year old wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. Everyone who knew her loved her and relied on her for something. She was uncommonly brilliant and kind. My siblings have been the best gifts my parents ever gave me, and life without my sister is going to be unimaginably hard.
Melissa was a loving wife to Anthony Longoria and the mother of 7 wonderful kids ages 13 to 2 years old who expanded our family and brought us many more happy memories.
Melissa's family became complete on January 15, 2020 with the birth of Adelyn. That was also the day her battle with cervical cancer began as it was discovered that day.
Melissa and Anthony sold their home last fall and used the proceeds to buy land to build a new forever home on where they could be close to good schools and give their family the home they always wanted. In the meantime, they were renting a home during that process which was delayed that kept them waiting.
This past week, Anthony was laid off from work, which means they won't be able to meet the financial requirments for financing their new home. To make matters worse, their landlord they're renting from is planning to sell the rental house they're in, and they have to be out by July 15. This means they have no place to go. My sister faught hard to live long enough to see them move into their forever home.
On Saturday, she was taken the hospital by ambulance after waking up confused. The cancer had spread to her lungs, bones and to her liver, which caused liver failure due to the tumors. That also caused her blood to no clot properly, which caused a severe brain hemorrage that ultimately led to her being brain dead. She was removed from life support Monday and passed away surrounded by her family holding her.
We're asking for help for her family as they are going to need it. My brother has set up a Go Fund Me profile for them. We're helping them as much as we can, but it's going to be hard.
