[Marie Hazel Benarroch @MarieHBenarroch]

I am the former wife of the late Albert Benarroch and the mother of eldest son. For more than a decade, Marco Island, Florida was my home. We moved to Marco Island from Chicago, Illinois. Albert and I built Affordable Landscape Service in Marco Island from the ground up and we worked hard to build a new life together. 

Our family has a wonderful and a painful history from our time in Florida. Nearly 20 years ago, our 35 year marriage ended following Albert’s relationship with Yvette who became pregnant before my divorce to Albert was finalized. After our divorce, Albert married now Representative @BenarrochYvette and they had two children. The years that followed were difficult for the family. My son and his father became estranged for 13 years. However this year, my son and his father reconciled, and agreed to keep the past in the past. Shortly after they reconciled, Albert’s cancer returned. 

Albert began rebuilding his relationship with Joe and started forming a new relationship with our son’s husband and their two children. Albert made his love and desire to see them clear. This month, in Albert’s final days, as his cancer rapidly progressed, he became unable to speak and lay bedridden at his home in hospice. Representative Benarroch said that visits from Albert’s family had to be scheduled and kept brief. My son stated that the family should be able to visit Albert. Representative Benarroch disagreed and said “…you’re no longer welcome in my house… and if you come near my house, I will call the police.” 

Albert’s condition rapidly deteriorated, and when my son asked Representative Benarroch to understand the instructions she said Albert had left her, she replied: “Nope.” When my son tried to contact Representative Benarroch to understand the state of his father’s condition, she responded: “Just be grateful you got to spend some time with him. Please don’t text me anymore Thank you”.

I recognize that Representative Benarroch and her two sons were facing the loss of her husband, and their father, and that she may have received private instructions from Albert. But my son was left without answers and ultimately without the opportunity to say goodbye to his father. During the short time my son tried to get answers, Albert passed away.

According to the family’s Rabbi in Marco Island, Albert passed away on late Friday afternoon, October 16th before the onset of Shabbat. Representative Benarroch never called my son to inform him directly of his father’s passing. My son learned about his father’s passing on Saturday, October 17th in a text message, from a close family member. My son was not included in any of the burial decisions.

As a mother, I have watched my son lose his father twice. First through estrangement. And now, even after finding their way back to one another, my son was denied the opportunity to be by his father’s side at the end. Family values are a stated part of Representative Benarroch’s platform, which makes the circumstances surrounding our family’s experience very important to examine.

Public office demands judgment, compassion, respect, and accountability. People place their trust in those who represent Florida. I believe that trust deserves careful consideration when serious questions arise about an elected official’s conduct. You can review the attached messages from Representative Benarroch to my son, or from my former husband to our son. You can consider what happened and reach your own conclusions. Representative Benarroch will have her own account and she deserves to be heard. Our family is far from perfect, but a father and a son chose to reconcile, and they deserved the opportunity. Family values are not about having a perfect family, they are about how we treat one another when it matters most.
