Funeral and burial expenses for Theresa Sykes

On Tuesday morning, June 6, 2023, my heart was ripped out of my chest. My mother was on her way to dialysis which is the normal routine. She had been battling chronic kidney disease since 2018 and we were waiting for her to receive her transplant. While in route she passed away unexpectedly.

My mother was my best friend, I am her only child and we had a bond like no other. Where ever she went I went and where ever I went she went. I recently got to share with her that I am currently pregnant and she was so excited to meet her grand baby. That was all she talked about and what we were planning for. This has hit my entire family very hard. She was always the light in darkness and could keep a smile on everyone’s face.

I need as much help as possible to cover the cost and expenses for my moms funeral and burial. Unfortunately, due to still being a new policy holder and her untimely death I am having a hard time with the life insurance company.

Although she only had me, she was a mom to many, she was an aunt, a friend, a sister, wife, therapist, comedian, prankster and more. Everything that she was for me, she made sure to be for others. She loved everyone and talked to everyone. She made sure that people felt the love from her always.

I appreciate all the love, support and any donations given. Thank you so much!

Her daughter,
