Christina Howard Funeral Expenses

Christina "Tina" Howard - 38 Mother, Daughter, Granddaughter, Sister, Aunt, Niece, Cousin, Friend, and now Organ Donor. Tina was so many things to so many people. Sometime during the night of August 11, Tina was brutally beaten and sexually assualted.  The trauma to Tina was so severe she would not recover from the violence that had been inflicted upon her. We may never fully know or understand the circumstances, but we now know and feel the full impact of the loss. No mother should ever have to see their child like Tina was left. No child should have to grow up motherless. Knowing that his mother was a victim of violence.  But that is now Tina's mother and 10 year old son's reality. 
Everyone is in shock and hurting and wanting to help. This account is being setup as a way to help the family to offset the cost of the funeral and burial.  Tina was not shown the respect she deserved in life. We ask that you help us in death, show her respect as we lay her to rest. The family wants to thank you for all the concern shown and ask for privacy and prayers as they try to make sense out of such a senseless act.
