<div>Hi, my name is Gelena Alvis (Tea). Anyone who knows me knows that I am a very reserved, quiet, and private person. I’ve always been independent — I’m used to figuring things out on my own for myself, my mom, and my children. So please believe me when I say it is extremely hard for me to put my personal life out here, let alone ask for help.
</div>
<div>But today, I am reaching out with a desperate heart, hoping to receive help, love, and support to lay my mother to rest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom, Gayle Muse — many of you may know her as “Cupid” — recently passed away on November 12, 2025. She battled severe Congestive Heart Failure, and because of this illness, her life was suddenly taken from us at only 63 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the past 6–7 months, things have been incredibly difficult for both of us, emotionally, financially, and physically. Her health declined quickly, and she was in and out of the hospital so many times. I was her only child, and now it’s just me and her three grandchildren trying to navigate this loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mother was a truly passionate, caring, and loving soul. You never had to question whether she loved you — she showed it every single day. From the sweet, thoughtful messages she sent to friends and family every morning, reminding them that they were loved… to showing up at any hour for anyone who needed her. My mom loved to cook and could not bear to see anyone go without food. She was incredibly giving — she would literally give the clothes off her back if someone needed them. She loved to sing, dance, laugh, and above all, she loved to love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She loved God deeply. She loved blessing others, praying for people, uplifting friends, family, and even strangers. Her heart was pure. Her passing has left me with overwhelming grief and a deep sense of emptiness. My mother was my best friend. She was all I had, all I knew, and losing her has shaken my entire world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m starting this GoFundMe because I need help with her funeral expenses. I want to give her the beautiful homegoing she deserves, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I haven’t even had a moment to truly grieve because I’m so worried about how I’m going to lay my mother to rest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation — no matter the amount — will go directly toward her funeral and nothing else. If you are able to give anything, I am truly grateful. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page means just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mother loved everyone so deeply, and she will be missed more than words can say.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rest in peace, Mommy. We love you so much. ❤️
</div>
