Laying Melanie to rest

Donation protected
My daughter Melanie passed away very unexpectedly on June 3rd, 2020, leaving three children, a husband and many family and friends to grieve her passing.
She would light up a room when she came into it! She was the best part of me, and so full of life. She overcame great obstacles in her life, becoming the top saleswoman at Chrysler Of Lawrenceburg in Lexington, KY, consistently outselling others even during the Pandemic. Melanie was made a sales manager at her work, while continuing to sell and often worked long hours. She was so motivated to succeed, and that drive helped her achieve her position.
Melanie was a generous, loving daughter, wife and mother, fiercely loyal to those she loved. We are all in such shock that she is gone. I never expected when I woke up that morning that my daughter would have left this world. She was my sunshine. I began singing  "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine" to her the day she was born and she was. My days are a little dimmer now that she's not here. Every day I hear her voice and wonder if I could have done something to keep her here a little longer.
I am asking for help to pay for Melanie's funeral expenses, which total $10,000. If you find it in your heart to donate for this, please know that if there are any funds available after the funeral expenses are covered, the rest will go to a college fund for her three children Wesley, Kiera and Christian, whom she loved so very much. I am coordinating with Melanie's husband Brian and he requested that I be the one to create this account. 
Thank you so much for your time in reading this. I cannot express enough how much of a shock this was and how wonderful Melanie was. She was a friend to everyone- a social butterfly, and smart. No one wants to outlive their child, and no one plans for their child's funeral. Any funds you can donate will help ease the financial burden in this time of great grief.
