My mom, Melissa was taken from this world too soon.  She did not deserve everything that life threw her way and now she wont get a chance to live a peaceful life. Despite everything she has been through she still bent over backward to make sure everyone around her was happy and had a full belly. Her hardships are what made her who she was. She had a tough shell  but once you earned her trust and loyalty she would do anything in the world to make you smile.  She treated my friends as if they were her own. Even though we never really had much she was always willing to help or try to figure out a way to help. 
She meant the world to me and so many others. I am her only daughter and our family is very small, some of them live out of the country. I am only 21 years old,  just 6 months ago we lost her mother, my grandmother, and I lost my dad unexpectedly a year ago this march. I am having the hardest time of my life trying to process everything that is going on emotionally. The stress of trying to give my mom the proper service she deserves when I'm already working two jobs to stay afloat is unbearable. Melissa was my mom, my best friend and she did everything she could for me and anyone she met. Its really hard for me to ask for help but the funeral home wants money up front to have her cremated.  Any prayers and/or donations would be greatly appreciated. http://fox2now.com/2018/04/27/person-of-interest-in-custody-for-north-st-louis-triple-murder/
