Hi, this is Laina, Christina, Julie, and Tyler. Our mother, Lenore Bryden, passed away on Saturday June 14. If you knew anything about her, you knew that she never planned for anything and that unfortunately included her death. She had no life insurance, no savings, and no plan. She told us our entire lives that if she ever died, she wanted to be cremated and her ashes planted at the base of a weeping cherry tree. Our goal is to do this for her. If you’re able and would like to donate in her memory, we would truly appreciate it. We know times are tough for many people so please do not feel obligated to donate. We are very thankful that we have each other to lean on and so many people that love and support us. We are so thankful for everyone’s kind messages. Thank you so much!

UPDATE: We’ve cleaned out her house and sorted all of her belongings. It was almost $1,000 to get everything hauled away and cleaned. We were able to turn the house back over to the landlord. It feels better to have that done.
