On 10/17/22 this Beautiful Soul was tragically taken from us in a senseless stabbing spree of a psychotic 21 year old that has been in & out of jail for random attacks just like this in our Hometown of Long Beach, CA. There are tons of news reports about it if you want to know more. She was on her way to Dialysis, she was right across the street from the hospital for her appointment, she never made it. She had a VERY hard life with lots of pain & struggles, but, she loved fiercely & always helped anyone in need if she could. She especially loved animals, cats most of all. She was a Vet Tech/Kennal Worker for Many Many years before she retired. She was quite ill the last few years, many health problems from a surgery gone wrong a few years back that also caused severe constant chronic pain, but she still did all she could for all who needed her. Besides the fact that she's my Mom's Twin Sister, she helped raise me, so has always been more like a 2nd mom to me. I Love her so much. I'm so angry that this is how she passed, terrified, confused & alone on the street. This is NOT how she was supposed to pass. I'm trying to focus on the fact that she's free from her pain, and trying to believe that in her faith, she's reunited with my mom & their mom (my grandma who raised me) in her beautiful ever after. I will be diligent in ensuring this monster is sentenced to the maximum he can be.

I need help for transportation (gas to get there & back (she lived in Long Beach, CA, I live in Portland, OR) so I can settle her affairs), shipping so I can send some of her treasured belongings to her daughter in Colorado, time I'm going to lose from work to take care of it all, cremation services so I can bring her home to me, and keep my promises to her. Any help is greatly appreciated, even just sharing this will help immensely.
