As many of you know, my mom fought stage 4 cancer for almost 5 years. On Monday, March 10th, at 2:40 pm, surrounded by our family, she took her last breath. It has been so difficult to explain the hurt that has surrounded our family.

I am starting this GoFundMe, since everyone is asking how they can help, and this would be the biggest help, to offset the cost of what it has been for all of us to take the time off of work to help care for her, since she needed 24-hour care. This will also help with the cost of funeral expenses. We are taking her ashes to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she will be buried. We will be having 2 services: one here in Arizona and also one in New Mexico.

Our hearts are hurting and we are doing the best we can. Thank you for all your support for our family as we learn to live without our mom, wife, nana, sister, and friend.

We currently don't know when services will be as that is still being worked out.
