My twin sister struggled on and off, for years, with addiction. On May 7, 2014 Hanna suddenly passed away from an overdose. No one was hit harder than me; her best friend. This past year has been nothing but a struggle for me... Every day is hard to get through.
10 months later, my Mom & I have finally been able to start thinking about a memorial for Hanna. She rests at Greenwood Cemetary in Brielle, NJ where I visit her weekly. We do our best to keep Hanna's resting spot beautiful. But it's time for a headstone/memorial. Hanna was a beautiful, unique, and talented person that was taken too soon; and for that, she deserves a special memorial.
The monument will be ready by the end of Fall 2015. It is a sculpture of a beautiful angel that represents Hanna, on top of a granite headstone that will read her name, dates, an epitaph, and a picture of Hanna, herself. Below will read a scipture from one of her favorite poets, Dante Alighieri. This memorial is so important to me - I can only hope it will bring me more joy than sorrow when I go to visit my sister. It's something I would want for myself - and I KNOW Hanna's soul will be filled with happiness at the sight of it.
I absolutely DREAD making one of these foundations... Asking for money. But it was recommended to me by a few friends, and I truly am in need. Unfortunately, memorials are not cheap. After all the expenses from the funeral and burial, my family is in a rough place. My mother & I are in this alone - and we don't make a whole lot of money. In order for the memorial to be placed, the charges must be paid in full. In order to acheive this goal, I have to put away $125+ a week for the next 8 months. As many people may know, I am a car salesperson; so my income varies week to week. With other bills, this may be a big struggle for me.
I ask that you help out ONLY if you can. Even if I raise enough to help me with a week's worth of savings, it will help.
I know there are people out there who loved Hanna - And I can promise no one will be disappointed when her memorial is set in stone in November. Thank you for reading. <3
