My wife "Mari" was born June 19, 1995. I met her in May 2010 and we committed to each other July 17, 2010. She leaves back her Father, Mother, 3 siblings and 3 stepchildren. My name is Javier, her husband and I am lost of words to describe how devastated I am with losing my wife. Just recently Married on October 23, 2016 our future together was promising. This was going to be our last hurrah and this October we were planning to have children. She was only 30 years old. She was so beautiful with an amazing smile and vibrant personality. We loved being together. We spent every moment together. If by any chance we were apart, it wasn't the same. Our connection was so real, we were inseparable. She was the life of the crowd , but at the same time very responsible.
With a bachelors in Business she worked a full day as a purchasing buyer for a large food manufacturing company. Her mother at the age of 55 was diagnosed with cancer in her liver, which is inoperable. Dr. are giving her a couple more years with us. She knew how important it was to take care of her mom and dad, so we moved in to help them out financially. Mari was a dedicated daughter. It's been a struggle, but I am trying my best to continue to assist them. The weekend of May 14th 2016 we had an amazing day. We spent the Saturday at a music festival and Sunday a great day enjoying the summer. On May 16, 2016 around 345am I felt my wife shaking. I turned on the lights and she was seizuring. I saw Mari take her last two breathes and I started conducting CPR to keep my wife alive. Paramedics showed up in minutes and she was rushed to the hospital. It took along time to get a pulse and the Dr. put her in an induced coma. Unfortunately we could not save her. The hardest thing to get over is that the night we went to bed she told me " that she can't wait to grow old with me". My commitment is to continue to HONOR her name and legacy. Thank you everyone for the love, prayers and support. Sincerely, Javier
