Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I am reaching out to you in a time of immense sorrow and need. My name is Katrina, and this

GoFundMe is for my father, Wesley, and his wife, Cheri Starke. Together, her loved ones had to make the worst unimaginable decision—saying goodbye to beloved wife and mother, Cheri. After six

years of battling a brain tumor, Cheri developed pneumonia, colon cancer, and other health issues. Despite our

hopes and her incredible strength, she could not be saved in this world.

Cheri was a beacon of light in our lives, always bringing joy and warmth to everyone she met.

Her strength and resilience throughout her illness were nothing short of heroic. For six years, we

fought together, hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, her health took a turn for the worse, and we

were faced with the devastating reality that she was brain dead. With a heavy heart, my father

had to make the unimaginable decision to let her go peacefully.

As we navigate through this difficult time, we are faced with unexpected medical and funeral

expenses. The costs of hospital bills and arranging a dignified farewell for Cheri have become

overwhelming. Our goal is to raise **$7,000** to help cover these expenses.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Even a donation of

**$1.00** will bring us closer to our goal and ease the financial burden during this challenging

time.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this message with others can also be incredibly impactful.

Your support and kindness mean the world to us and will help honor Cheri’s memory.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and generosity. Together, let us

celebrate Cheri’s life and the love she shared with all of us.

With gratitude,

Katrina
