Driven by her faith and love of community, Ramona dug her roots into the ground and became to many, a beacon of strength, love, and hope. For many of the children and families in her care, Ramona became a mother to them all. Her smile and spirit would light up any room and she always tried to live life to the fullest, dancing, laughing, traveling, and making as many memories as she can.   As a devout Catholic and active member of the Saint Mary’s church, Ramona was always looking for ways to give back to her community, volunteering to help feed the less fortunate, donating not only her time but her wisdom and kind words.     She leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and laughter. Survived by her four sons: Edwin, Starsky, Angel and Wilson Perez; 8 grandchildren Jaedlyn, Justin, Monica, Zyanna, Cristayshalee, Waren, Phoenix and Korrah as well as a host of family and friends.      Ramona asks that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the St Mary the Assumption Parish of Lawrence, MA.      Ramona Martínez Pérez nació el 15 de diciembre del 1950 en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana de padres Ramón Martínez Cabrera y Ana Lucía Vásquez.  Ramona se mudó a los Estados Unidos a finales de los años 70 y residió en Washington Heights, Nueva York, hasta que la familia se mudó a Lawrence, MA en 1988, donde se convirtió en proveedora de cuidado de niños. Impulsada por su fe y amor a la comunidad, Ramona echó raíces en la tierra y se convirtió para muchos en un faro de fuerza, amor y esperanza. Para los niños y familias bajo su cuidado, Ramona se convirtió en una madre para todos. Su sonrisa y espíritu iluminarían cualquier habitación y siempre trató de vivir la vida al máximo, bailando, riendo, viajando y creando tantos recuerdos como podía.   Como católica devota y miembro activo de la iglesia de Santa María, Ramona siempre buscaba formas de retribuir a su comunidad, ofreciéndose como voluntaria para ayudar a alimentar a los menos afortunados, donando no solo su tiempo sino también su sabiduría y sus amables palabras.  Ella deja un legado de fe, amor y luz. Le sobreviven sus cuatro hijos: Edwin, Starsky, Ángel y Wilson Pérez; 8 nietos Jaedlyn, Justin, Monica, Zyanna, Cristayshalee, Waren, Phoenix y Korrah, así como una gran cantidad de familia y amigos. Ramona pide que, en lugar de flores, se hagan donaciones a la Parroquia St Mary the Assumption de Lawrence, MA.

Salmo de David. 23 El Señor es mi pastor, Nada me faltará. 2 En lugares de verdes pastos me hace descansar; Junto a aguas de reposo me conduce. 3 Él restaura[a] mi alma; Me guía por senderos de justicia Por amor de Su nombre.
4 Aunque pase por el valle de sombra de muerte, No temeré mal alguno, porque Tú estás conmigo; Tu vara y Tu cayado me infunden aliento. 5 Tú preparas mesa delante de mí en presencia de mis enemigos; Has ungido mi cabeza con aceite; Mi copa está rebosando. 6 Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán todos los días de mi vida, Y en la casa del Señor moraré por largos días.

Obituary Preview: Velorio: Domingo 13 de Marzo de 2022   1PM - 4PM Localidad: Perez Funeral Home, 298 South Broadway, Lawrence, MA Entierro: Republica Dominicana "Padre amoroso, reponsable, esposo fiel, con virtitudes y desefecto unico, siempre te recordaremos" Oraciones Nuestra Señora de Altagracia
!Oh, Madre de la divina sabiduría y por eso Madre de Dios de Altagracia! Postrado a tus pies éste miserable tuyo viene a pedirte dos gracias con esta oración.
La primera es una alta gracia de grande honra y gloria para la tierra, pues es la exaltación de la santa fe católica, la extirpación de las herejías, la paz y concordia entre los príncipes cristianos, las victorias contra los infieles y la rendición de los cristianos cautivos.
La segunda es la gracia justificante para este arrepentido pecador, que ya aborrece los viles deleites de la culpa, y propone no ofender más a la bondad infinita.
Por tu mano, Señora, espero esta misericordia, para que después de servirte en esta vida, llegue a gozar en la otra de la Divina Gracia.
Para que más bien pueda contar las misericordias de Dios, os pido atendáis a mi necesidad y me concedáis la gracia que os voy a pedir.
Así Madre mía lo espero de vuestra piadosa liberalidad; más si acaso no conviniere mi petición, me resigno en tu santísima voluntad; dadme paciencia para tolerar los trabajos y pasiones de la vida, hasta el fin dichoso de verte con tu hijo Jesús en la gloría.
Amén.

Obituary Preview: Elijah Oliver, 22, of Haverhill, MA, passed away Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022. He was born on May 19th, 1999 in Lawrence, MA, the son of Meagan Oliver. Elijah is survived by stepfather Hector Negron, sister Marlena Pagan, brothers Joelexis Cirion, Gavin Pagan, Josiah Negron, Jace Oliver, and Kaleb Negron.

Elijah will sadly be missed by Lu Vega, Charlie Rodriguez, Angel Delano, Luis Collazzo, Joaquin Sanchez, Kenny Lima, Nike Colon, Jiraold Jiminez, Grandmother Marlene Oliver, and Uncle Korey & Bella Consoli. Elijah was a devoted son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend, with an unwavering and steadfast dedication to family and friends. He prided himself on the unconditional loyalty and love he had for those close to him, and his charisma, authenticity, and passion often captured the hearts and minds of friends and strangers alike. Whether it was his interest in sports or his passion for music, audiences were drawn to his conversations by his outgoing, infectious personality. However, it was his talent for writing, and love of music and working songs, that truly stood above all.  Music was Elijah’s craft. His lyrics were the result of deliberate construction, with each progression of harmony playing out like a scene from this life. His gift of writing and resilience to adversity, led to studio collaborations that paved a path connecting him to thousands of fans. His music was inspirational to those that related to the obstacles and tribulations he rhymed about, yet still appreciated by those who did not. Elijah was beloved by those closest to him; a best friend to all walks of life. His love of life was evident in the way he lived it…a way consisting of more smiling and less worrying; more compassion and less judgment. The simplest pleasures in life brought Elijah joy. His warm smile and loving personality was contagious to everyone he met. His beautiful soul will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.  Visitation: Wednesday February 9th, 2022 4-6  close family 6-8  family and friends

No sufras por mi estoy libre. Estoy Siguiendo el camino que dios a dispuesto para mí; tome sus manos cuando escuche su llamado. Volví mi espalda dejando todo. No podía estar otro día para reír, amar, trabajar o jugar. Las tareas que se quedaron sin concluir tienen que quedar así. Yo encontré la paz al cerrar el día. Si mi partida ha dejado un vacio, entonces llénalo con gozo recordando una amistad compartiendo una sonrisa, un beso, un sí, esas cosas que yo también voy a extrańar. Te deseo la luz del sol de mańana. Mi vida ha sido satisfactoria, he saboreado muchos Buenos amigos, Buenos tiempo y el toque de las personas amadas. Quizás mi tiempo se ha visto muy breve, no demores mas con Dolores innecesarios. Levanta tu Corazón y goza conmigo, porque dios me quiere ahora. El me ha llamado y me ha liberado.
