Our mom was the glue that kept our family together, at just 59 years old tonight she has gained her wings and has gone to join her loved ones in the heavens above. Her health has been declining rapidly these days, none of us were prepared for this to happen now. Her final wish was to have a traditional funeral and to be burried with her sister.

I keep trying to find the words; but really there aren’t any one group of words special enough to portray our mom, even though we are all grown to know that our kids will no longer have their grandma/ great grandma, is just breaking our hearts.

It doesn’t quite feel real that she’s no longer here, that the phone will never ring with her voice on the other end.

We don’t want to ask for help but we are putting our pride aside and asking for help. We literally have nothing prepared, no life insurance, nothing.
