Honoring Penny Avila’s Memory: Support for Funeral
Donation protected
We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Penny Avila, who touched the lives of so many. As we navigate this difficult time, we are reaching out to our community for support to help cover the unexpected funeral expenses.
In a world where silence often surrounds mental health struggles, we need to raise our voices and shed light on the importance of suicide awareness. Every day, countless individuals battle their inner demons in solitude, feeling as though there is no way out. This is not just a statistic; these are our friends, family members, and loved ones.
Penny (Nana as I called her because you would get reamed if “grandma” ever came out of your mouth hahaha❤️) was not just a family member; she was a wife, a great mother and Nana, a friend, a mentor, and a source of joy in her own way. Her and Tony’s spirits will live on in our hearts, and we want to give her the farewell everyone deserves. Your contributions will help alleviate the financial burden on her husband, as he is still mourning the loss of their son a year prior, during this challenging time and allow us to focus on celebrating their life and legacy.
No amount is too small, and every donation will make a significant difference. Even though he did not ask me to do this, and he would have told me no if I ran it by him, I know Tom & the rest of the Avila family cannot express how greatly appreciated your support, love, and kindness as we honor Penny’s memory with together. Thank you for being here for us when it’s needed the most.
