The Call No One Wants to Hear
On Christmas Eve, the tone dropped for a call that every first responder dreads. Mundelein Firefighter/Paramedic Angel Gonzaga received word that his mother was unresponsive in his childhood home.
His own brothers from the Mundelein Fire Department responded immediately, rushing her to the ER. Upon arrival, doctors discovered she had suffered a catastrophic hemorrhagic stroke. Despite the best efforts of the medical teams and the prayers of family, the damage was too severe.
