We are the Yevtushok family, allow us to introduce you to our beloved Mom, Lyudmila (Lyuda) Yevtushok.

It is with a very heavy heart that we share the loss of our Mom. Over the past two and half years, Lyuda battled stomach cancer and today the Lord called her home. In the end she reminded us all of the hope we have in eternity, she was ready to meet Jesus face to face and have full healing. If you've ever met our Mom you would have felt a part of the family because she treated anyone just like they were, with open arms. Lyuda worked diligently and selflessly to provide for our family, she never had much but everything she did have she would give without hesitation. She was the sole provider and pillar of strength for our family. She would bring a smile to everyone's face that encountered her in her church, workplace or a stranger she'd meet in the community. She would encourage anyone that needed it with words of wisdom and a firm foundation of Christ. Lyuda, along with her husband, Aleksey, raised seven children together: Yelena, Svetlana, Irina, Alek, Daniel, Julia, and Mary. Her laugh was contagious, she was comfort for anyone she'd meet, she would have strangers that would tell her that she reminded them of their own Mom. She experienced hardship throughout her life but through it all she remained so strong, she would overcome everything with such a sweet outlook on life saying "don't worry, everything will be ok." Lyuda would sacrifice everything to make sure all seven of her children had anything they needed. She would give with a self-less heart to her family and her local community.

Over the past few months we stood by her side and prayed she would experience healing but we can say with confidence she is fully healed today with her Creator. Lyuda was always so grateful for everyone that took care of her over these past few years. We watched as she would want to gift all of her doctors and nurses because she was so encouraged how they would care for her so well.

Today, we are asking for support for Lyuda's funeral and service expenses. While we anticipated the end was near we did not expect it to come this soon and we were not prepared for the significant cost. We want to give our Mom a service for all that she has given to so many. We thank you so much for giving and most importantly praying for our family during this time.
