As everyone by now knows, we lost my wonderful mother yesterday. It was unexpected and very heartbreaking. Now the family and I are dealing with the struggles of taking care of the funeral arrangements, which everyone knows is very costly.

Mom touched the lives of so many and was there for anyone who needed it, but she didn't plan ahead for this to happen. She was only 61, and no one expects this so young. Anything would help tremendously! Thank you to everyone who has reached out in this time. She is no longer hurting, so there is much comfort in that.
