It breaks my heart to even write this. I lost my mother on December 30, 2024, not even a full year after losing my brother—her son—to diabetes. The weight of this loss is almost too much to bear. My mother and I had talked about so many things, including life insurance, but we thought we had more time to get everything in place. I never imagined I’d be in this position so soon.

Her wish was to be cremated, and I will honor that. But I also want to honor her life with a memorial service—a chance for family, friends, and loved ones to come together to celebrate who she was and the legacy she leaves behind.

I know times are tough for so many, but if you feel led to support, no donation is too big or small. If you’re unable to give, I would deeply appreciate your prayers as I navigate this incredibly difficult time. I’ve been leaning on God’s strength to carry me through this, and I know He’s faithful even in the midst of this pain.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any love, support, or prayers you can offer. It means more than I can put into words. ❤️
