To momma: One last adventure..

My dear momma passed yesterday after years of health struggles.

She had a wonderful life filled with love, lots of love, and gardening.

I am raising funds for bills outstanding, time to grieve, and taking care of family expenses.

Any support is gratefully appreciated; she knew she was so loved.

The last 5 years for my Momma were the hardest. Between prolonged health problems and having a hard time walking; I became everything she needed. The grocery shopper; the care giver; the provider.

The clown, the joker; the comforting friend when she'd cry. She was everything I wanted in a Momma and more and I am so grateful she picked me to be her person for her. I am honored to continue to care and support my family during this hardship of times.

My momma has a huge heart. Always trying to help those who needed it more than we did. As long as we had enough, she'd always give her tomatoes away to the neighbors; spending countless hours in her garden. I can't tell you how many times I watched her pay for groceries for young struggling families at the local Walmart.

She had a huge heart. Always thinking of those who had less than us.

She worked for years in the hospitals in the Salt Lake Valley, helping woman escape abuse and hard situations throughout her years. She was a dedicated Mother to her children and a wonderful grandmother to her grand babies.

We miss her beyond words, your donation means that we are able to continue to grieve her huge presence and take care of her final expenses.

Her loss is deeply felt; deeply missed and filled with so much love.

She loved her family so much and would be eternally grateful knowing that there are kind people in this world who are willing to help my family during this awful time.

My family has lost its loving monarch and pillar of light.

I don't know how to be without

She didn't want to burden us with the costs that come from loss. But, alas. They come like clockwork.

Thank you for donating. Thank you for reading.

These funds are being using used for her celebration of life, what my family couldn't cover in her cremation costs and just trying to survive after her tremendous loss.

We are lost without her. She asked two of her daughters; Maranda and Shannon to take her home to California--and to her birthplace in Portland Oregon.

We miss you so much Momma
