My mother, Maria R. Sisneros, passed away on July 17, 2020 from Parkinsons. She was 86 when her life ended from this insidious disease.
She was a very strong woman and beat both breast cancer and diabetes. My mom raised seven children while my dad was in the Army for twenty five years.
However, Parkinsons took my mom's life after her battle with this life-robbing disease. It was exceedingly difficult seeing Parkinsons rob my mom's health and vitality.
I pray that one day there will be a cure for this terrible disease.
