Hi, my name is Antoinette Byrd. I'm creating this GoFundMe in honor of my sister, Albertshay (Shay) Russell, who lost her life due to domestic violence with her last two children's father. ALBERTSHAY MARIE RUSSELL was a beautiful mother to 4 loving children, 3 boys and 1 baby girl, who she adored and protected with every bone in her body. She was a beautiful person inside and out and captured everyone's heart with her vibrant energy. In your saddest moments, she could lift your spirit with just a simple smile, laugh, or dance. She loved to dance and could definitely turn a sad room into a party just by being herself. She leaves behind 4 beautiful children who loved her dearly and need her the most. All funds will go directly to supporting her children with their day-to-day lives and things that their mother would never let them go without. Anything is appreciated, whether it's a dollar or a simple share.
