It is with tremendous sadness we mark the passing of our angelic little girl, MJ.
Born 10 weeks early, MJ battled her way out of the NICU ahead of schedule, as she was excited to be home with her family. Then, tragically, in late May of 2021, she was diagnosed with leukemia.
MJ underwent intense chemotherapy, which sadly did not work. The doctors then pivoted to a bone marrow transplant. MJ was so strong throughout the process, but sadly, this too, did not work.
At that time, her doctors said she had a week left to live. She wound up living almost two more months, providing us with a lifetime of giggles, love and joy. When the leukemia became too much for her body to handle, she passed peacefully, with no pain, in the arms of her mother and father.
She is survived by her mother Jessica, her father Cory, her grandmothers Brenda and Jesuina, her grandfather Francisco, her aunt Michele, her uncle Jefferson, her cousin Theo and her godmother Silvania and godfather Aspaan.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Blessed Sacrament Parish (3040 Heather Street, Vancouver) on Saturday, March 26, 2022 at 11:00 am.
Interment to follow at North Vancouver Cemetery.
Donations in MJ's memory to The Michael Cuccione Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research would be most appreciated.
