It is with great sadness that we, the Campos family share with you the following news. On Saturday November 17, 2012, our dear beloved Marta earned her wings. She was surrounded by her family, beloved cats, and all the positive energy and prayers from her local and international support community. Marta wanted her family to hold two memorials, one in Washington state and one in California. She wished us to celebrate her life and live ours to the fullest. She was grateful to the many individuals in her life.
Please accept our apologies for the delay in updating this blog. However, we thank you for allowing us to mourn in privacy.
Donations can be made to the following charities: No Stomach for Cancer, American Cancer Society, and Homeless Cat Network (where she adopted Dash from).
Cards to the family can be sent to: Campos Family, c/o Team Marta, 4016 Lake Washington Blvd N #3, Renton WA 98056.
We currently have a limited supply of wrist bands for those who have not yet requested one. Please let us know if you have not requested one and would like one. We will not be reordering anymore once these are gone.
Thank you for reading and sharing her blog. We leave you with one more quote from Marta.
"I've realized that I will never lose my battle against cancer. Although there is no cure and I will earn my wings one day, filling my life with beautiful people an experiences makes me a winner. I love my family, friends, and supporters dearly. Thank you all for helping me create a life worth living when it matters most." Marta Campos

ReplyDeleteMarta...you made such a mark in this world, and I still wish you were here.
ReplyDeleteI miss you girl! Love your smile it is etched in my mind. I think of you at your happiest times, like your Birthday Party, your happiest times are what I remember and always will, you will NEVER be forgotten. I Love you!
ReplyDeleteThe above was written by Cheryl Redd, I don't know how to use these blogs very well.
DeleteHello Dearest Campos Family,
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving us your daughter, sister, cousin, niece, auntie. I know you would rather have kept her to yourselves and not have any reason like stomach cancer for Marta to Blog. At least I feel that way. Marta kept me going as a caregiver, even when I told her RIchard was not doing anything anyone else was doing in this battle. Marta is the same age as our daughters. I stayed in because she kept re-inviting me, I knew we needed one another. I personally do not prescribe to an afterlife. I think it is because the life here on this planet seems so full. It is because of people like Marta and RIch I feel this way. I also know that they are in heaven because they wanted to be. And if anyone deserves is to enjoy the life here after, they do ~ my husband and daughter from another mother.
If you have a bracelet I would love to wear it.
Peace,
Alice
Alice,
DeleteThank you for your kinds words. So sorry to hear of your lose. Our thoughts will be with you and your family as well.
It was Marta's belief that she was given purpose and a mission. She felt she was to inspire and spread awareness to as many people as she could. This is now her legacy, and we will continue this in her name.
I would love to send you a wristband for you to wear, please let me know where to send it to you.
Regards,
Lupe Campos
