Dinora Del Carmen Sanchez De Mejia, also known simply as Dinora Mejia, 60, of Woodbridge, Virginia passed away in the afternoon of Sunday January 10^th, 2021 at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge, Virginia. She died due to complications caused by COVID-19. She became infected with the coronavirus sometime in the week of December 10^th, 2020 and had a confirmed positive test that same week. On December 16^th, 2020, she had to go to the hospital. Although the hospital was not allowing any visitors, they did allow her to have her cell phone. Therefore, family and friends called her, texted her, and did video calls with her as much as she could tolerate. The coronavirus made her extremely weak and out of breath therefore she could only have brief conversations. In those brief exchanges she did on her phone, family and friends expressed how much they cared for her, how much they loved her, how much they were praying for her, and how much they wanted her to come back home. The hospital also allowed for drinks to be brought to her and so her family would deliver her the juices and smoothies that she asked for. She was able to talk with family and friends and drink the juices and smoothies family and friends delivered for her until she became too weak to talk and too weak to eat and drink. Although family and friends could not be by her side, she left this world knowing without any doubt how much she was loved and how much she was going to be missed.
