“Grandma Bandit” Joins Angels Line-Up

Catalina “Grandma Bandit” Hernandez passed away Monday at the age of 82. Mom battled leukemia for the past 7 years. She passed in peace at home. Mom bypassed chemo and radiation as a form of treatment because she feared it would compromise her ability to care and comfort her husband and daughter. She now joins her husband who joined our Lord’s Heavenly Kingdom in April 2009 and her daughter who lost a battle to breast cancer in April 2007.

Coach Larry, Champ and brother Jerry are grateful for your support and Prayers. We are truly Blessed to have held her during her final moments.
