I made this GoFundMe for one of the most incredible ladies I have ever known, right next to my Mother. One of my very best friends had to let go of her best friend, her rock, her everything. On the morning of Nov. 21st, she had to tell her Mom she would see her later in a better place. The night prior she had many visitors by her bedside throughout the day. We all gave many prayers, however, it was in God's hands to put her where he knew she would be most happy and no longer suffer. She had a surgical procedure last Tuesday and was doing well, up until the blood clots were too much for the body to handle. The Doctors did bring her back after 40 minutes of CPR the first time they lost her. She was then kept on a ventilator and had a machine breathing for her. Unfortunately, her organs were shutting down. The next morning they needed to perform CPR again, got her back for maybe a half of a second, and she was gone again. It was at that time that her daughter Jessi, who was by her side all night, had to say her 'goodbye for now'. God gained another Angel; an educator, an influence, a cancer survivor, a leader, an orchestra mom, a mother of two....the list could go on. Sue was the most selfless person God has ever created. She always lit up a room, could turn a frown upside down, and constantly carried a smile. She did much volunteer work throughout her life and made a HUGE impact for so many people. She was great at making people more comfortable; whether it was with themselves, in a group, or with an activity. She never lack hope, faith, or pride. She made it clear to see and hear how grateful of her two children she was, Adam and Jessi. Adam, Jessi's brother, lived with her Mom and their two dogs in Glendale. She paid all the bills and took care of so much. Jessi lives in Gilbert and spent time with her Mom every week, called her daily. They were more like sisters if you ask me. At this point, I am very scared for both her and Adam with not only the emotional toll, but financial too. I am hoping this GoFundMe raises money for the amazing Sue Pederson; her medical bills, funeral costs, home, and to try and help her children get by.
Every dollar does count. Please share.
Thank You,
Ashley.
