Please help with funeral expenses & bring Bea Home

Donation protected
In early September, my Mom received a plane ticket to visit her sister in Texas. Five days after her arrival she experienced a minor brain hemorrhage. She spent one month at Kingwood Hospital. Her plans to recover and travel home were diverted by several obstacles, from an infection in her blood, to physical debilitation caused by stage four multiple myeloma, a bone cancer. She was in tremendous daily pain.  But she was strong in spirit and knew the Lord Jesus Christ as her savior.
Sadly, she passed on October 20th from complications of Covid-19. Her ashes, death certificate, and belongings are still with the funeral home. The mortuary will not send them until the entire amount is paid in full.  She had little insurance to pay for hospital and Mortuary bills. What the family is asking for help for these expenses. It would help my family find closure to have her ashes home as soon as possible. Please know that any bit helps, there is no such thing as a small amount. 
Beatrice Esther Valdez was known by different names. Bea, sister Bea, Mama B, Queen B, Tia Esther, Cousin Esther, Baby Sister, Mother, and most important to her, Grandma. She meant the world to so many of us.  She was mother to so many of us. We know of her testimony as a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and fought with an honest heart.  When the cancer spread, she did all she could to prepare for the next stage of existence. She desired to receive the full knowledge of God, she spoke of Love, Forgiveness, and Understanding. She put family first and gave of all she had. She was a wonderful lady. She is missed more and more every day. Today she is no longer in pain for she is in a better place. She poured out her life to so many around her and touched countless lives. From the bottom of our heart, we as a family appreciate every single donation. Mom's legacy will live forever through all of us. Thank you and God bless.
