My mom, Jerry, was a force of nature—foul-mouthed, fun, loving, caring, and deeply empathetic. She had a knack for helping anyone she felt needed it, whether deserved or not, always putting others before herself. Even as she faced the challenges of early onset dementia, Jerry’s strength and humor never faded. She had already endured so much, having lost my dad and four other children, but she remained a pillar of love and support for those around her.

Unfortunately, in her final months, Jerry was taken advantage of financially while she was vulnerable. This has left us struggling to cover the costs of her funeral, memorial services, and trailing medical bills from her ambulance trips and hospital stays. It’s heartbreaking to face these financial burdens on top of our grief, but we want to honor mom’s memory in the way she deserves.

We are reaching out to friends, family, and anyone who knew Jerry or has been touched by her story. Any support you can offer during this difficult time would mean the world to us. Your generosity will help us give Jerry the farewell she deserves and ease the weight of these unexpected expenses. Thank you for helping us celebrate her life and legacy.
