Help Elizabeth Lay Her Sister to Rest

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Elizabeth. My family has received devastating news. We lost my sister of 50 years on Saturday the 7th. After receiving the news from the coroner, our lives have been flipped upside down. My sister had passed away on Friday the 6th into Saturday the 7th and was found by her neighbor (her best friend). Since she hadn't updated emergency contact information with her apartment manager, we didn't find out until Tuesday the 10th. We were told no foul play was involved and most likely it was medical; of course, it's not final until we receive the toxicology report. My sister had many issues throughout her life, and mental illness was a major factor. This has torn our family apart. Now Christmas isn't even important anymore. I have to hold off on getting Christmas gifts for our family, which I have many grandchildren who are heartbroken as it is with their great aunt's passing. We still haven't even purchased our food for Christmas Eve dinner. Everything will be put on the back burner. My mother is devastated, and I want to help her lay my sister to rest as my mother wishes. My sister had no life insurance as this is hard to get when you have this type of medical history. My mother's wish is to have her buried. I know this is a hard time with the holidays, but if you can spare anything to help us out, your time and effort would be so deeply appreciated. I never expected this, and it's so hard. My sister has one son who lives in California, and we want to help get him out here as well. If you could please take a moment and find it in your heart to help out. I don't know what we're going to do, and I have many calls to make about arrangements. I feel so tired and overwhelmed, so if some of my writing is not spelled out right, please forgive me as I write this with swollen eyes and a knotted-up stomach. Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas to everyone. Please love and enjoy your families as tomorrow is not promised
