Hello, my name is John Minter and with a heavy heart, I am reaching out for help during one of the most difficult times in my life. My beloved mother, Lori Melton, passed away unexpectedly, leaving our family devastated and struggling to cover the costs of her funeral and memorial services.

Lori was so much more than a mother — she was a source of strength, compassion, and unconditional love. She had a heart that welcomed everyone, always offering a listening ear, warm words, and support even when she didn’t have much to give. Her kindness touched so many lives, and we want to honor her in a way that reflects the love she gave so freely.

Unfortunately, we were not financially prepared for this loss. Funeral costs are more than we can manage alone, and we are doing everything we can to give Lori the farewell she deserves. We are asking for your help — whether it’s through a donation or simply sharing this page — to help us cover the costs of her funeral services.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help lift a burden during this painful time. If you knew Lori, you know how deeply she cared for her family, her friends, and even strangers. Now, in this moment of grief, we are leaning on the kindness of others to help give back to someone who gave so much.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, love, and prayers.

With love,

John Minter and Family
