Funeral Expenses And Costs For Teresa Shively

Dear friends and family,

I am writing to you today to let you know about the passing of our beloved Teresa Shively.  We are all devastated  by her sudden passing.  She wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital.  During the few days she was there she was diagnosed with Leukemia and Sepsis.  It was all more than one person could endure though in true Teresa fashion she fought hard.  Heaven gained one of the most beautiful angels there could be!

The funeral service will be held on Thursday May 7th.  However, due to the pandemic there are extreme restrictions and limitations.  There are only a very small number of people allowed at the service.  We are working with these restrictions and limitations in order to keep everyone safe but it makes it very difficult on all of us who love her.

Teresa was loved by so many.  She had such a beautiful heart and soul.  She had an amazing sense of humor and would do anything to help any of us in need.  She loved her family more than anything.  She was the rock.   She had an amazing zest for life! She didn't allow her health challenges to stop her.  She lived life in spite of them.

Our family is absolutely devastated by Teresa's passing and we are struggling to find the funds to cover the Funeral Expenses and Costs.  These are tough times for everyone with the pandemic and all that means to so many. 

Based on quotes we have received, here is a breakdown of all the costs involved in the funeral service for Teresa:

Services, Facilities & Transportation                       $3,880.00
Merchandise (Casket, Container, etc.)                   $3,855.00
Headstone                                                                              $1,500.00
Casket Flowers                                                                    $    200.00
Other Misc.                                                                            $    265.00

Grand Total:                                                                            $9,700.00

We will need to pay for the funeral costs as soon as possible.  I have started a fundraiser to collect donations for Teresa's Funeral Expenses and Costs.  Here is the link:

We are grateful for each and every donation during this difficult time.

If there happens to be any donations made above and beyond the actual funeral expenses and costs, our family will make a donation to the American Cancer Society with the remaining funds.

With love,

Kimberly Gleason and Family
