Dear friends, family, and kind souls,

I find myself writing this during one of the most difficult times in my life. My mother,

Kristie Lynn O’Malley, passed away on Monday May 6. Our relationship wasn’t always easy, but we were in the process of rebuilding and healing. Despite the ups and downs, I cherish the fond memories of time spent with her. Her passing has left me feeling a mix of emotions as I grapple her loss.

As Michael, Jonathan and myself come to terms with her passing, we are faced with the daunting task of arranging her final journey back to Tennessee from Orange County, Ca.

As we prepare for her cremation, we are faced with the financial strain of arranging her cremation and travel expenses from Knoxville to Ca.

Though our journey together was complex, the memories of the good times we shared sustain me. I'm determined to give her the respectful farewell she deserves, regardless of our past struggles.

Your support in easing the burden of cremation and travel expenses would mean the world to me. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ensure that my mom's journey home is as dignified as possible.

I understand that times are tough for many, and your kindness in sharing this campaign or donating is deeply appreciated. Together, let's honor the memories of my mom and the moments of joy we once shared.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Amber Seymour
