Our mom was the sweetest person you could ever meet. She had the best smile and a heart full of kindness, always putting others before herself. No matter what anyone did to her, she never held animosity—she loved everyone unconditionally and would check on anyone, no matter the circumstance. Her love and care touched so many lives, and she was truly a great mom to us all.

Her passing was completely unexpected and has left us, her four children, heartbroken and facing challenges we never imagined at our ages (22, 21, 18, and 17). We want nothing more than to bring her home from Abilene, Texas to Sacramento, California so she can be buried with our father. This would give us a place to visit them both and honor their memory together. Unfortunately, the costs of transportation, burial, a casket, and a small memorial are more than we can manage on our own.

We are reaching out for help from our community, friends, and anyone who feels moved by our story. Anything you can give will help us bring our mom home and lay her to rest peacefully. Your support means the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for any kindness you can share during this difficult time.
