Sherry Bledsoe, the administrator for the WV Music Hall of Fame, just finished paying the bills incurred for her only son's burial. She now must bury her only daughter, who passed on July 8th. The service is July 16th, and the costs are over $10,000.
Shannon Nichole Cochran was 40 -- the mother of Emma, who will turn eighteen this month, and 9-year-old Solomon. Their grandmother is consoled by their love & hugs, but can't believe she will never again hear "Hey Mom!" from one of her children.
Sherry is tough. Sherry is practical. But Sherry needs our help. No one should have to bury both their young-adult children in a 7-month period. It is heartbreaking to have to bury a child period. It is hoped that her friends can at least spare her the financial hardship of this tragic circumstance.
Any proceeds above the burial costs could be used to give Emma a very happy 18th birthday prior to her senior year of high school. Life goes on, even when you are not ready for it.
