This video is dedicated to my mother, Oralia Gomez. November 11, 1945 to April 22, 2025. I was her caregiver. She had dementia and experienced complications after a stroke. She died peacefully at Christopher House Hospice in Austin, TX She was buried on April 29, 2025. 
 
I just found out the cake story is not exactly as I remember. Two realtives drove to HEB in San Antonio for the cake in a truck with a camper shell, which protected the cake. I'll update the narrative at some point for accuracy. I created this video without consult and assistance from any family. I was told this after the funeral was over and the link was distributed. No other details in the video were corrected by those old enough to know. 

With respect and love for my mom. I could do no less for her than this. I gave my all for her and this video was no different.

- Stevie Gomez, her adult and eldest child.
