My son Quentin's Funeral cost
Donation protected
I'm not sure what to say. We lost my son, Quentin, this past Monday November 5th 2018. I have spent the last 2 days crying and wishing and praying that this was some nightmare I cant get out of. All I could think about while he was in my arms was how wonderful he was to everyone. He was so forgiving to anyone that ever hurt him. He was inspired by absolutely anything. He didn't have goals of a normal 15 year old at all. My favorite thing to say about him was that he dove into anything that caught his mind from electronics to math and from building restoration classic cars to taping and floating drywall. If it was something he could learn he did. Just in the last couple of months he has done these things. He was absolutely about his future. All of this and him gone in minutes.
I dont know what else to say. I was most definitely not prepared. This is something I feel horrible about. After I left the funeral home we found out the cost of the minimum we could do for him. I dont want to sell anything because what I have of value was important to him and special. He left behind 3 brothers and a sister that he looked up to and cherished. He lived with me and an older brother and was a champion here helping and even cooking while I worked. His Mom and all the rest of the family is torn apart and I've already discovered I cant do this. His Mom lives out of state but she and her fiance are incredible people and that side of Quentins family has gone above and beyond. They are all still my own extended family, I have no one left close that I depend on. I want to be completely honest. None of us can afford this. He deserves much more. This is the minimum we could get it to. Its approximate and probably not enough but I'm looking up and telling myself all is well. But it's not. It's all wrong right now especially for his siblings. Quentin would want to be next to his Grandfather and Great Grandmother. Please help us. I have nothing but guilt in doing this. I love my son so much and I know he loved us to. I just had no idea I would ever have to bury any of my kids and it's completely devastating to the whole family.
Thank you and I dont expect to reach what we now owe. I only ask for your kindness and prayers for a sincerely incredible soul, my son Quentin.
