Christine's Farewell: A Tribute to Her Life

Celebrating the Life of an Extraordinary Woman — Help Us Honor Mom the Way She Deserves

Hello friends, family, and kind‑hearted strangers,

If you don’t know me. I am Shane, the son of Christine Miller. She passed away recently after a very hard battle with cancer that came on quickly, leaving behind a lifetime of warmth, laughter, and the gentle flutter of hummingbird wings she adored so much. Mom’s gift was people—she could strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel like family within minutes. Her love was boundless, especially for her husband Steve, two sons, Shane and Adam, who were blessed with her guidance, encouragement, and endless hugs.

We are planning her memorial service on her birthday, the 20th of May. As we plan her farewell, we want every detail to reflect the simple joys she cherished: fresh flowers, soft colors, and a small display of crystal hummingbirds that always brightened her kitchen window. We hope to gather everyone she touched for a memorial filled with stories, music, and shared memories. Just the way Mom would have insisted. Please message us if you are interested in the time and location.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Everyone says the same thing. “If there is anything I can do to help let me know”. Funeral expenses add up quickly—cremation, service, venue, flowers, and miscellaneous costs—totaling more than our family can cover alone. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

1. Funeral home and service costs

2. A modest reception so loved ones can gather and remember her together

3. A hummingbird garden marker at her favorite park, so her spirit can keep inspiring passers‑by

How You Can Make a Difference

• Donate what you can; even $5 brings us closer to giving Mom the heartfelt goodbye she deserves.

• Share this campaign on social media or by email so others who knew her—or simply resonate with her story—can help.

• Send a Memory in the comments: a photo, a short story, or a few words about how she brightened your day. We plan to create a memory book for the service.

We’re humbled by your support during this tender time. Your generosity will help ease the financial burden and allow us to focus on celebrating Mom’s remarkable life. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.

With gratitude and love,

Steve, Shane, & Adam
