Hello everyone,
This is Victoria’s children writing. As many of you are aware, our mother, Victoria, unfortunately passed away on the 29th of September. Her death was very sudden and unexpected for us, and it has been left to us to arrange her funeral and burial.
As many people have expressed an interest in paying their final respects to our mother, we are trying to raise funds for a funeral service so that everyone who wishes to can attend, say their goodbyes, and give Victoria the farewell she deserves. We also hope to have her laid to rest at Greenfields Cemetery alongside her mother and father, Lawson and Shirley Tolley.
Unfortunately, we are not in a financial position to cover the cost of the funeral ourselves. Noah is currently a university student who can only work part-time, and Gabriella is a full-time mother to two children.
We are currently looking into the Funeral Expenses Payment offered through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). However, we can only receive this support once the DWP has received the final paid invoice from the funeral directors. This can usually take between 4–6 weeks after the funeral, while funeral directors require payment upfront.
Therefore, we are humbly asking for donations towards Victoria’s funeral expenses.

We have included the breakdown of the funeral costs so that everyone can see exactly what the money raised will be going towards.
Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to us and would help us give our mother the funeral and farewell she deserves.
Our hope is to give people the opportunity to come together, say their final goodbyes, pay their respects, and allow Victoria to be laid to rest alongside her beloved mother and father.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read this, for your kindness, support, and any contribution you may be able to make. It truly means more to us than we can put into words.
With love,
Noah & Gabriella
