Cesaria Laforga

The perfected spirit of Cesaria Yadao Laforga peacefully departed this world from her daughter Rosemarie and son-in-law Zeal’s home, in St. Cloud, Florida to go home to her ultimate citizenship — in YAHWEH’s kingdom (Philippians 3:20-21) — on January 16, 2024 at 9 p.m. Cesaria had a major stroke in August 2018. Since that time, she couldn’t do anything for herself because she was paralyzed from the whole left-side of her body. Her daughter Rosemarie and her family provided her with tender loving care, kindness, happiness, peace, and joy from the time she had the stroke until the day her spirit left this earth! Cesaria’s other children and grandchildren visited her whenever they could. She resided in Rosemarie’s home until the moment she left this world. Cesaria was a homemaker and loved gardening, but what she loved most are her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her smile, kindness, gentleness, joy, and loving spirit are immensely missed and will forever be cherished by those who loved her and knew her well. Her legacy and her love will forever live within her family’s and friends’ hearts until they meet her in paradise. Cesaria’s favorite sayings were: “Protect your name’s integrity because you will have to answer to GOD someday;” “Be careful with the words that come out from your mouth because GOD is always listening;” “Respect everyone no matter how you are treated;” and “Beauty is not from how your face or your body looks, but it is from within your heart. No matter how beautiful and elegant a person is from the outside and if the heart is not right, the whole person is ugly!” Cesaria predeceased her loving husband, Joseph Laforga, her son Mark Sr., and Frank Jr. She outlived all nine siblings. She survived by her children Frank, Fely, Perla, Rosemarie, and Nancy; grandchildren Carol, Leilani, Anjo, Mark, Jason, Jocelyn, Eddie Jr., Cindy, Cheryl, and Joseph; and twenty-three great-grandchildren. May Cesaria’s legacy and love she left behind bless you.
