Hi All! I’m setting up this page for my Mom that passed away on 1/31/2024. For any family that has to make funeral arrangements for a loved one it can become a daunting task. Myself and my children have come face to face with this challenge. When you start going through files and paperwork of your loved one you expect to find all the important documents you need to make decisions and choices a bit easier. As most of you know my mom had dementia. As a child and care giver I always wanted as much normalcy as possible as her memory started to slip away. Her files were rummaged through and in disarray. So, finding what we needed wasn’t so easy. With some research from a family friend we found out that my mom had a few insurance policies. We thought instant relief. Until, the next several words changed our mindset. We were told all of her policies have been cashed out. My mom was a live in the moment person. I knew these policies helped me and my children throughout the years when we wanted things. I always wondered where my mom would gather money on the fly. Well, that answer became abundantly clear. This was a gut punch to say the least. I knew at this time money was going to become our main focus to complete her final arrangements . I’m here today creating this page in hopes that many of you may read and understand what we are going through as a family. For many that new my mom she was a pillar in our community for years. She helped many and contributed her time to many organizations. I’m hoping now I can turn to you for just a little help. I want to say thank you in advance from my entire family to anyone that contributes. As the saying goes..”A little goes a long way!” ☘️❤️
