As you all know Marlons mom passed away unexpectedly yesterday morning in her sleep at the age of 66.

 Evelyn was recently being treated for Parkinson’s as well as Dementia but her death came so unexpectedly. Marlon and I have both been traveling back and forth and working with a case manager on getting her into a adequate care facility that could care for her properly. During this waiting period we had a nurse that came to care for her daily but as you can see we had no clue how aggressive this disease was and time wasn’t on our side.

So here we are now, planning another funeral still in shock and not knowing where to begin. Marlon didn’t want me to reach out for donations but after I told him funeral cost he agreed that I may ask. Evelyn had no life insurance, no savings, she was on a fixed income with limited Medi-Cal.
Then the time Marlon will have to put in for lost work and travel, etc we all know that adds up quickly.

So if you could find it in your heart to donate or spread the word we would be so thankful. Even if you can not donate we would love all of you to come and join in her celebration of life. Funeral arrangements are being made and details will be posted here.

Thank you all for your love and support! The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

In the words of Evelyn’s favorite singer Etta James and I can hear Evelyn singing it now.....


At last my love has come along my lonely days are over and life is like a song, oh yeah at last the skies above are blue my heart was wrapped up clover the night I looked at you I found a dream that I could speak to a dream that I can call my own I found  a thrill to press my cheek to a thrill I've never known, oh yeah, you smiled, you smiled oh and then the spell was cast and there we are in Heaven, you are mine at last.
