Help us give Brenda the peaceful rest she deserves

Donation protected
Our hearts are heavy as we share the passing of Brenda Messamore, a mother, who left this world unexpectedly on November 9th. She was a fighter through every season of her life—strong, determined, and deeply caring. She worked hard to provide for her family, even when life made that difficult. She did not have any plans in place for end-of-life arrangements, and now, her two adult children, are facing the financial burden of her final expenses during a time of deep grief.

Brenda was the kind of person who gave more than she ever had herself. She had a heart full of compassion for others. She loved animals, cared deeply for her community, and was always a listening ear for anyone who needed one. If you were hurting, she noticed. If you needed comfort, she offered it without hesitation. She made others feel seen, valued, and loved.

We want to honor her the way she deserved—with dignity, love, and peace. But the costs of end of life expenses has become overwhelming.

We are humbly asking for help in this difficult moment, to help her children put her to rest. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward her end of life expenses. If you cannot give, we ask that you please share this page and keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for seeing her, remembering her, and helping us honor her life. We are deeply grateful for your kindness.
