Cordova, who was Bracero’s only child, was attending college and working part time at Starbucks, Del Bosque said. She loved going to concerts, especially with her mother.
“The two were inseparable and shared a strong bond,” Del Bosque wrote on the GoFundMe page, noting that the two women came from “a close, strong family in Chicago.”
Del Bosque described Bracero, who worked as a supervisor at Wintrust Bank, as “a dedicated mother, loving sister, niece/cousin.”
“The family is currently trying to bring them home and give them the best service possible with hopes to lay them to rest amongst other family members,” she added.
