Hello World this morning on January 22, 2021 my mom Samantha Kathleen Brown passed on and God took her up to heaven. She was Kingston High School Class of 1989. She lived a short life of 48 but she beat every statistic that any doctor ever threw her way she was diagnosed with acute intermittent porphyria at the age of 17 they told her she wouldn’t live past 40 she would’ve been 49 this year. Winter of 89’ she was In a horrible car accident that permanently handicapped and disabled her she was supposed to be a quadriplegic but by some miracle she was able to walk. A few years ago she was diagnosed with type two diabetes and really high blood pressure. 6 months ago she had a stroke due to the blood pressure medication for the last six months she’s been having tests done MRIs you name it CT scans nobody can find anything. Growing up we didn’t have much at all and we still don’t really. We come from a big family hard-working family but we just don’t have it right now with the pandemic all of us older kids just started our own families with all newborn to 2 years old and we’re just barely making it by. Any gratitude and appreciation, love, care, anything would help. My deepest sincere appreciation and gratitude goes out to anyone who donates. Yes I know the goal is very very low for the amount of siblings that no longer have a mother but if we make one goal we can always set another! Watch over us mom. We’re gonna make sure you get the service you deserve. I always knew to wanted to be next to grandma. I love you. I’ll see you in heaven one day.
