Hello, my name is Peter Reilly, and I'm requesting assistance for my siblings and myself in raising funds to cover cremation expenses for my biological mother, Jude Carlson. Most people who know me do not know of Jude, so please forgive any awkwardness in this request. Jude passed away at some point between December 10th and December 15th, if anyone had any contact with her between these dates, the family would love to know about it, please share if possible. As I remember, Jude was creative, artistic, and very much a "live in the moment" person. She loved nature, and the beauty that the world provided. At the time of her passing, she was living in the Eugene Oregon area, with plans to spend the Christmas holidays with her sister in the bay area before relocating to New Mexico for the next chapter of her life. Sadly, she was not able to complete this journey as the lord called her home before it began, but rejoice that she can now truly be at peace.

Jude's family is quite spread out and there are challenges involved in making arrangements. As a result, we do not know when or if services might be, but we will find a way to communicate them as any plans are made. My sister has determined that cremation costs are likely to be around $2500, and if anyone feels compelled to assist with these costs it would be much appreciated by us all.
