Manuela Blanco Rivas was born to Jesus Blanco and Elvira Rivas on September 24, 1939 in Oleiros-Jubin a suburb of A Coruña, Spain, during the Spanish civil war. Her family lived off the land and farm animals. At a very young age and together with her three siblings she learned to be resourceful and a hard worker. It was the time when WWII was about to get serious in Europe. As a young lady she immigrated to England. There, she met her husband Alvin in 1966 during his tour of duty with the USAF. Manuela and Alvin were married in Spain on June 4, 1967 and soon traveled back to Alvin’s home country of Venezuela. She became a mother of two boys Jose and Jaime. In December of 1974, the four of them came to the US when Alvin attended school under the GI bill. In 1976, while living in Norman, Oklahoma Manuela accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and savior under the leadership of a missionary lady named Wilma Mann. Until her passing, Wilma and Manuela remained close friends. After Alvin’s graduation in 1977 from the University of Oklahoma the family traveled back to Venezuela. There, her third son Joel was born. The entire family came back to the US in 1984 and after a brief stay in Norman, settled in the Dallas, Texas area. Manuela dedicated her life with emphasis on raising her three sons. From 1986 to 2008 she operated a children’s home child care. Pre pandemic, Manuela and Alvin were long-time attendees of Trinity Bible Church of Richardson, Texas and for many years were actively involved in the Spanish speaking bible study ministry offered by TBC. She went home to be with the Lord, on Monday October 17, 2022.

Anne Stone

Anne Stone In April of 2022, Anne went to the doctor because she'd been experiencing shortness of breath. Her regular physician was concerned that it was a pulmonary embolism; instead, after several days in the hospital and a variety of tests, we learned it was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. "Idiopathic" means they're unable to pinpoint a cause. "Pulmonary fibrosis" means that it's a permanent, progressive scarring of her lungs. Anne tried two different experimental medications intended to stop the progression of her disease, but unfortunately it continued to advance. At the end of June 2023, her doctor indicated that it was time to begin hospice. On October 1, 2023 she passed away. Anne was an incredible mother, always advocating for her children and grandchildren, as well as a beloved sister and friend. She is deeply loved and missed. Please consider donating to help find a cure for this disease, so that no other families have to suffer through this unfortunate journey in the future.

Go to Sharon Cirilli

Sharon Cirilli

Sharon Cirilli In February 2014, Sharon was diagnosed with a genetic form of Pulmonary Fibrosis, an autoimmune disorder that causes lung tissue to become damaged and scarred over time. As Pulmonary Fibrosis worsens, those who are affected become progressively short of breath, with their quality of life greatly decreasing. Currently, the lung damage caused by this disease can not be repaired, but medications and therapies are prescribed with the hope to ease the various symptoms and side effects. In the grand scheme of things, very little is known about this deadly disease, its progression, and whether or not there are specific genetic markers for the 200+ variations. Sharon ultimately passed from complications of pneumonia due to her Pulmonary Fibrosis. Over only a year and a half, her family and friends watched the disease become increasingly visible and rapidly deteriorate her health. At 63 years old, she went from a happy, new retiree with big plans of relaxing, and traveling with her husband to someone who was imprisoned to an oxygen machine, day and night, struggling to breathe on her own.Sharon was more than just a caring person--she was an amazing wife and mother to three beautiful children. Not to mention, she touched the lives of thousands throughout her 38 year teaching career. She was an extremely gifted sewer and spent much of her time crafting bags, dresses, and pillowcases to donate to Little Dresses for Africa, St. Judes, and Warm-Up America (among others). Her life was full of compassion, her sense of humor was contagious, and her kind heart was truly felt by everyone who knew her.In Sharon's honor, her family and friends are seeking to raise $25,000 to donate to The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Donations will benefit those who have succumbed to the disease, are currently fighting it, and will face Pulmonary Fibrosis in the future. Sharon is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of 39 years, Alan Cirilli, as well as her three children (Alan II, Anthony, and Ashley M.) and daughter in law (Ashley E.).

Charles E. Lindsey More photos My father had an engaging smile and the most kind and generous soul. All who met him left feeling better about themselves. His life was well-lived with pride, dignity and respect for everyone. Unfortunately, his life was cut short by Pulmonary Fibrosis, a horrible and devastating disease with no effective treatment or cure. My father faced his illness with determination, strength and courage. Always hoping for a cure, he continued to research creative treatments on his own until the day he died. On that day he said, " We do what is possible. It's the impossible that takes a little longer."Together we can make the impossible possible by finding a cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis.I am raising awareness and funds for the mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

Sudha Parekh

Sudha Parekh Our family is raising awareness and funds for the mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation in loving memory of Sudha Parekh. Sudha Parekh of Weston, Florida, passed away peacefully on the 29th of September in 2008, from complications arising from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). She was surrounded by her family during her last moments. Sudha was born on July 24th, 1937 in Rajkot India to Sarla and Ratilal Kamani. She grew up in Rajkot, married Ramesh Parekh of Nairobi, Kenya, and moved to Kenya at the age of 20. There, she gave birth to her daughter Neeta and her son Asheet (Ken). After spending over a decade in East Africa, Sudha and her family moved to Canada, where her third child, Anjou, was born. Warm weather brought them to Miami, Florida in 1972, and Sudha and Ramesh called South Florida their home ever since that day. Sudha is remembered dearly for her liveliness, musical talent, and beauty. She attended nearly every joyous occasion in her community, loved yoga and traveling, and illuminated every space with her beautiful voice and positive energy. In a poem dedicated to her mother, Anjou wrote, “Words do not suffice…for how can pen on paper capture the essence of your being? The lightness in your smile, the music in your eyes, you are…wisdom, laughter, grace.” Sudha is survived by her children, Neeta, Ken, and Anjou; her sons-in-law, Sunil and Siddhartha; her daughter-in-law Sonia; her grandchildren, Sejal, Sachin, Karina, Shivani, Rahul, Devan, and Dylan; her sister, Bhanuben; and her brothers, Bakul, Pankaj, and Naynesh. She is together in spirit with her brothers Ashwin and Prafull, and her husband Ramesh.

Go to Ben Rogers

Ben Rogers

Ben Rogers Ben was born on October 23, 1953 and married his soulmate Mary in 1974. He was a family man and raised four children together with his wife in the country nestled among hundreds of pine trees. He was surrounded by eight busy grandchildren ranging in ages from 24 to 7 years old with grandbaby #9 on the way. Ben was a produce manager for 40 years. Many people will remember his smiling face in the Produce Department at Eagle Foods Supermarket where he was the manager for 33 years, three months and three days. After Eagles closed, he finished out his career at Jewel-Osco.Ben touched many lives and was a loyal friend. He had strong family values, which he imparted to his children and grandchildren. During his lifetime he shared his love of music, movies, do-it-yourself projects, and, of course, the Iowa Hawkeyes. In 2015, Dad shared with his family that he was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. A disabling disease without a known cure and few treatment options. After much consideration, declining health and prayer, he decided in October 2017 to be listed for new lungs. He was selected fairly quickly and on November, 11, 2017 he underwent a successful single lung transplant on his right side. Dad gained an extra 2 years and 3 months of life with the incredible gift of his new lung. It was not until late January of 2020, that Dad became ill and was diagnosed with Pneumonia, RSV and ultimately Pulmonary Aspergillosis. He was hospitalized on two separate occassions and ultimately, lost his battle on Tuesday, February 11, 2020. Our Dad wanted to leave an impact and always looked for ways to help others. He felt strongly about education and was eager to always figure things out. Our hope is that with generous contributions to PFF, his legacy can help the lives of others that are affected by this disease and ultimately help to find a cure.
