A little about my mother-in-law: she is very well known around Spokane. She is the most friendly, talkative, and kind person I've ever met. Willing to help anyone she can, walking down the street, she'll stop and ask if they need anything. I can't even forget about her goofy side! The first time I met her, she was in this bright-colored jumper, chain belt, crazy jewelry, and very long braids below her waist! She threw her hands in the air and yelled, "Heeeyyy daughter-in-law," knowing I was only a girlfriend for a couple of months. It made me nervous at first, but brought so much warmth to my heart. She has always been welcoming and cared very deeply for me. Ever since, she has always been Momma Jackie. She loves deeply for her children. She brought amazing boys into this world. My husband Joseph and his older brother are EXACTLY like her. The most soft-spoken and very respectful men. I was so blessed finding this amazing family and how wonderful they have been to me all these years.

Then, at the end of 2025, everything took a turn. A couple of days before Christmas, Mrs. Jackie unfortunately was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer that has taken over her body. After one operation, the options were living the rest of her days, which are estimated 10-15 days, with hospice care or trying for a second operation with the risk of never leaving the operation table. She wants to live her last days spending time with her family. I'm reaching out to anyone who is willing to help. The cost of her final wishes to be completed and I would like to give her and our family a beautiful service they all deserve. Please help me bring peace and comfort to my husband and all of my wonderful in-laws during this very difficult time.
