Texas brothers lose both parents to coronavirus

I saw this on tv and they said the Father was even recovering but then suddenly got worse . Maybe the loss of his wife added emotional problems which made it worse.


<Naomi Esquivel, 39, died on July 2 of COVID-19, her mother Rita Marquez-Mendoza told NBC affiliate KWQC-TV.

Two weeks later, Carlos Garcia, 44, died of the same respiratory illness. He’d attended his wife of 24 years’ funeral, but succumbed to kidney failure at the hospital on July 17.

The parents, who died alone in their hospital rooms, leave both of their sons, Isaiah, 14, and 11-year-old Nathan, behind.

“I didn’t get to say goodbye to my mom, or my dad now, and that’s what hurts me the most right now,” Isaiah told the broadcast station.

“He had just spoken to his son at 11:00,” Jacob Mendoza, Esquivel’s younger brother, said. “They pronounced him dead at 12:24.”

Now, Mendoza, who already has four children, finds himself a father to six.>

that they are still part of a family and not alone. That must have been an enormous comfort to their poor parents.
