With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Norma Diaz’s beloved daughter, Carmencita Yolanda Diaz. ❤️

On May 13, 2026, Carmen passed away peacefully at 3:43 p.m., surrounded by the love of her family.

Carmen was a beautiful soul whose strength, courage, kindness, and love touched so many lives. Throughout the last several years, she faced every challenge with incredible grace and resilience, inspiring everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a lifetime of cherished memories, laughter, love, and the unmistakable warmth she brought into every room.

From Carmen’s husband, Scott:

“Hello everyone,
This afternoon, Carmen passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Her strength and courage throughout the last several years were an inspiration to everyone who knew her. Equally inspiring was the incredible support our family received from so many of you — those who visited, helped with appointments, and simply stood beside us during this journey.

Carmen left this world surrounded by an abundance of love and cherished memories. As we all grieve her loss, we hope you will take a moment to remember something about her that made you smile, and share that memory with someone you love.

On behalf of Miles and myself, we want to thank all of you for your support, generosity, kindness, and love. We are deeply grateful for the care you showed Carmen and our family.

With love and gratitude,
Scott and Miles”

Please continue to keep Norma, Scott, Miles, and the entire Diaz family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

His presence, devotion, and willingness to serve others will be deeply missed by all who had the blessing of knowing him.

We are grateful for the love and support shown to him and his family throughout his journey. May we continue to honor his memory by carrying forward the compassion, faith, and fellowship he shared with others so freely.

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Silvestre Mariano.

There are some lives that quietly shape the world around them—through love, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. Silvestre was one of those souls. A man whose presence was steady, whose kindness was felt deeply, and whose life reflected the beauty of simple, faithful devotion.
In moments like this, we lean into our faith a little harder. We trust in the promise of Christ—that death is not the end, but a passage into eternal life. We hold onto the words that remind us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and we pray that Silvestre is now resting in the peace of God’s embrace.

May the angels lead him into paradise.
May the saints come to welcome him.
And may perpetual light shine upon him.
As we grieve, we also give thanks—for his life, for his love, and for the memories that will continue to live on in all who knew him.

Please keep Silvestre and his loved ones in your prayers during this time. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Amen.

The Our Lady of Fatima Prayer Group mourns the loss of our beloved sister in faith, Tess Pido.

Tess was a woman of deep and unwavering faith. Her love for God, her devotion to prayer, and her commitment to family and community were evident in the way she lived her life. She was a beautiful light among us and a faithful presence in our prayer community. Tess carried a gentle spirit and a strong heart for serving others, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the blessing of knowing her.

As we grieve this loss, we also trust in the promise of our faith—that the Lord whom she loved so dearly has welcomed her home.

We ask everyone to please keep Tess and her family in your prayers, asking Our Blessed Mother to wrap them in comfort, strength, and peace during this difficult time.

Services will be held as follows:
Viewing: Wednesday, 4:00–7:00 PM at Skinner Funeral Home (Rosary from 6:00–6:30 PM)
Funeral Mass: Thursday at 11:00 AM at IHM
Burial: East Lawn Memorial Gardens
Luncheon to follow at IHM.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. 🙏
