Mom, Morena, remembers Lisseth: “I would love for you to honor my beautiful baby cakes (as I called her) Lisseth was a girly, girl but also a little tough cookie. She loved anything that sparkle and had to have her favorite colors pink and purple. Lisseth would light up a room with her smile, and she was always the center of attention. During her 17 month battle with DIPG, Lisseth never complained about pain or anything else, she always had a brave face on. She was fierce just like her momma. Lisseth would make cupcakes on a daily basis, as her journey was coming to end, she continue to make cupcakes and would always say, I’m having a harder time making them, but with a little sprinkle it will shine beautifully. It will be perfect. Lisseth was perfect. We miss her so much.”
Mom, Morena, along with David (daddy) Jocelyn (sister) Jacob (brother) “want everyone to know of my daughter Lisseth that she existed in this earth. Cancer took her away from her loving parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, friends. The worst kind of cancer we came to know of DIPG, it is just a horror life to a child who goes from being a normal active little girl, to a little girl who longer can run, play, eat or use her words especially to hear I love You! We need to have those who have not gone thru my shoes, to be aware of this DIPG.”
