Hi everyone! My name is Samantha Lacognata, and I am trying to help raise money for my husband, Dillon's family. His mother passed away Wednesday early morning on November 9th of this year. She has had many health issues over the last few years, and one of those was surviving a massive stroke a few years ago that left her non-verbal and with the loss of one side of her body mechanics. She recently had a decline in her health, turned a sharp corner, and passed away unexpectedly Wednesday morning. This is devastating for all of us but especially for her three children that she leaves behind, Deven, Dillon, and Erick. We are hoping to raise funds regarding her celebration of life. Our goal is 2,000.00 however, anything would be greatly appreciated.

Cheryl was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, and so much more. She had a massive part in many different people's lives. To opening her home up in times of need, treating others like her own, and being there for anyone who needed her. She was caring, loving and forgiving. These are just a few examples of how she inherited so many children. You could say the list is almost never-ending. She had a way of seeing the best in everyone and showing them love when they needed it. Her family was that spark for her. Some people have one person who is the love of their life; Cheryl's entire family was the love of her life, blood or not.

These funds will help pay for a space to throw a celebration of life, pay for her urn, a gravestone plaque, and many more things. We hate to ask, but we must put our pride aside and do what we can for Cheryl. She lived her life doing for so many others.

We love you, Cheryl, and we miss you. We know you are dancing and singing again!
