To know my mom was to love her; she was the kindest, most loving human being I've ever known. She was the light in the darkness, and everyone she met instantly loved her. My dear mother struggled with her health for so long; between debilitating diabetes, heart failure, open-heart surgery, two leg amputations, and ongoing infections, she just never was able to recover fully, and each incident brought her down even further. God knew she was suffering, but my selfishness wishes she was still with me.

I'm making this GoFundMe to help with final expenses and to hopefully give my mom a celebration of life or a ceremony before saying our final goodbyes to her. This will also help us take care of her fur babies that she loved so much.

Thank you to everyone who is reaching out to me; your love is definitely felt.

Mom, you gained your wings now - no more suffering. The girls and I love you so much.
