Mother of quadruplets tragically dies without ever seeing her four miracles

Just hours after giving birth to quadruplets, Arizona mother, Erica Morales, died. "She never got to hold them, she never got to see them," cried Morales' cousin, Nicole Todman to Fox10. "It is so hard to know she fought so hard for her children. She will never get to brush their hair, hold their hand, watch them get married, none of that will ever happen for her."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - For years Morales desperately tried to get pregnant with her husband, Carlos Morales. Finally getting pregnant was her dream come true.

"They were blessed with not one but four beautiful children," explained her family on their GoFundMe page. "But that blessing came with the most unimaginable tragedy."

Suffering from dangerously high blood pressure, Morales was admitted into the hospital where she was to stay until the children were born.

"We have to do it carefully because (you) can stroke out with bad blood pressure," Morales gravely stated on her Facebook page two days before she passed away following her C-section at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix.

Paisley, Tracey, Erica and Carlos were born two-months premature weighing between two and three pounds. Although they are progressing nicely, the quadruplets will likely remain hospitalized for another two months to gain more weight.

The family set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help with costs. They have received $95,000 in generous donations so far.

"She loved them; she was so happy to welcome them to this world," said Todman to KPHO. "She loved their father and he loved her. They will never be without love."
