"It is with a heavy heart that I write this post. My mom, Carole Gallegos, passed away on Saturday September 8th from complications related to a bleeding ulcer. We are all trying to work through the sadness but after fighting in ICU for 12 days, we find peace in knowing she is not suffering any more.  We know she is at peace and in a better place. We would like to thank all of those that have been sending their prayers and best wishes.
