My beautiful mom was a loving, warm, and kind person who meant the world to me. She was everything to me. She was a single mom who always put her family first, going above and beyond for me, her family, and her friends. Even while facing her own struggles with mental health and addiction, she tried so hard to be there for us, show us how loved and cherished we were. When she wasn’t sick, she was truly an amazing, deeply loving mom. Her sense of humor was radiant, she loved her family so much, and she loved my brother and I so much as well. She loved the ocean, animals, kids, she loved life and brought a special light to my life, along with many others who knew her. She was purely herself, and she was beautiful inside and out.
On December 20th, my life changed forever when she passed away at just 49 years old after going into cardiac arrest and suffering an anoxic brain injury. Losing her so suddenly has been incredibly hard for me, and my family. We want to honor her memory in a way that reflects the love and warmth she gave.
We are raising funds to help cover her cremation, transport, and to put together a celebration of life or remembrance ceremony. I’d also like to create memory boxes for my brother and me, and if possible, a headstone and plot. If we’re unable to afford a headstone, we hope to get a beautiful urn and make special keepsakes with her ashes for myself, my brother, and my daughter who loved her grammy very much. Any support would mean so much to us as we try to give her the loving goodbye she truly deserves. Thank you for helping us remember and honor her.
I wanted to add onto this, that any funds would be firstly going to her urn, and if possible a headstone and plot if we raised enough.. The memory boxes or something for me, my brother, or my daughter would be if we had anything left over after a service, urn, and placement was covered, or would be from my own pocket. I just want my mom to have a peaceful beautiful resting place. She truly deserves it, and I would cherish a place that our family, me, my daughter could go to visit her and grieve peacefully.. Thank you all so much for reading, sharing, etc. ❤️
