Many of you know of my sons passing last year on April 17, 2025, he was 33 years old. Felipe was born in Omak, WA and graduated from Tonasket High School. Felipe was the first in our family to accept Jesus - AMEN! Thank you, God, for letting Felipe be part of my life and many people’s lives, too.

God knows what our life struggles were during his childhood up until graduation. Felipe taught me so much and he had a big heart as he always loved to give to others when he could. Whether it was a bit of pocket change or food and most importantly, he loved lifting up others and encouraging anyone to do better and be better.

Last year on July 19 at 11:30 am we had a Celebration of Life for him at the Camano Chapel in Camano Island, WA. Felipe was baptized at this Chapel and that meant so much to me. We drove twice there from Spokane once for the viewing four days after he passed then again in July for the celebration of life.

I am reaching out again because I want to bury Felipe's cremains, currently they sit on my desk at home and I need your help only if you have the means to do so of course. I do not want to take away from your family.

The burial alone is $5,134.25 and that is the cheaper option. And this is not counting for the costs of the Celebration of Life. To be cremated costed shy under $2,000. that was already paid for.

[I know Felipe would say, put the cremains in the closet, mom! And don't worry about it!] I do not want to wait. If you can spare any change to help me it would be so much appreciated. If you have given already, I want to thank you for your contributions, please just share this for me.

My birthday is on 02/11, my daughter asks me if there is anything I want. I can say how about a lipstick from Nordstrom's, Birkenstock shoes, a gym membership. But actually meeting this goal would be the best birthday present ever!!
