Our sister Carol Lina Ribas recently passed on August 2, 2021. Carol was a wonderful daughter, sister, mother of 3, aunt, and friend. On this day, Carol lost her life to a brain aneurysm.

We are all devastated by Carol’s loss and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Carol the memorial she deserves, to honor her memory and say our last goodbyes.

I am currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of Carol’s funeral. We need to raise $10,000 by August 22, 2021 in order to be able to afford the funeral service. Here is an outline of what we will expect to pay for to help you consider donating:

• recovery of the loved one from home, hospital or hospice and into the funeral home’s care at any time, on any day
• transportation of the loved one to the funeral home
• embalming, hair and makeup
• a metal casket
• the time of a funeral director and other staff to plan and manage a viewing and memorial service
• use of the funeral home’s chapels, family rooms, visitation rooms, outdoor spaces and reception areas
• completing all paperwork and securing necessary permits
• basic printed materials, such as a funeral program and registry book
• use of a hearse
• coordination of clergy or celebrants
• coordination and placement of funeral flowers and/or charity donations
• purchase of a plot in the State of Florida

Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help our family during this difficult time.

Thank you so much and have a wonderful day.
