Support Pamela Fuller's Memorial Journey

Hi everyone,

My name is Genna Fuller. I am the daughter of my late mother, Pamela Fuller. Many of you know her as a protector, a friend, a sister, an aunt, an irrigation and telemetry genius, a daughter, a mother. This GoFundMe was created in her honor.

As some may know, after a long battle of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), my mother passed away peacefully at the age of 60 in her sleep on January 20th, 2025.

She showed nothing but resilience, patience, and grace all the way up until her final days. The same strong, independent, and beautiful being you all came to know and love maintained those qualities until the very end. She was powered and held up by the love of those around her and by the connections she made her whole life.

During her final stages, she received countless gifts, letters, and well wishes from her friends and family. She was unbelievably loved and I am so fortunate to have been able to sit by her side and see all the love shower in for her. Whether you knew she struggled with ALS or not, please know your love held her up whether you were communicating presently or not. She cherished all memories made with her friends and family and carried you all with her. She will continue to do so in life and in death.

I have an unbelievably supportive family. I fear where I'd be without them just as I feared where I'd be without my mom. Even just days before she passed, my mom confided in my Auntie Denise wondering what her kids would do after she passed. She was fervently reassured that her kids would be just fine under her sister, Denise's, care. My brother, Will, and I will always be protected, loved, and supported by my mom's surviving family members.

My mom was so deeply loved by her two sisters, Denise and Susie. She was protected, supported, and loved by her mother, my grandmother, Linda. She was surrounded with love by my dear cousin Katie and her husband and sweet child. She was constantly in the heart and mind of her best friend, Katie E. Family brought life into my mom's eyes and I will forever cherish seeing her light up when seeing family.

My family is beyond supportive and I have no doubt in my mind that they will do what is necessary without skipping a beat to ensure my mother's final wishes are honored. However, I find myself in a space where I'm wanting to help but monetarily unable. I've exhausted my savings traveling up north to visit my mom and take care of her every month since her diagnosis. And believe me, I would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat. Zero hesitation. As I'm sure is obvious at this point, I've started this fundraiser to allow me, her daughter, to also help support my family during this time.

With any money donated, I intend to do what I can to honor my mom's wishes. I intend to use the money to 1) attain the permit to have her ashes spread at sea, 2) locate and pay a ship/charter to take my family and I out off the coast of Los Angeles to have my mom's ashes spread on the way to Catalina, 3) purchase of a biodegradable pillow urn to allow her ashes to dissolve into the ocean beautifully and peacefully, 4) help my family spend some time on Catalina before sailing back to the coast, and 5) using the company Spirit Pieces, who I've used before, to have my mother's ashes infused into beautiful works of glass blown art. If anyone sees their website and wants some glass art with her ashes in it, you are more than welcome to contact me directly and I can add that to the order. The pieces are expensive monetarily but invaluable in the power and beauty they hold. I'd like to be able to get an individual piece made for each of my family members that have known, loved, and helped my mom.

My mom taught me how to be graceful and resilient. To be "tenacious" as she would say. She'd even say on occasion, "I'm tenacious as f*ck" which, if you know my mom, you know that to be true to a fault. She taught me how to love others with every fiber of my being, to give grace and patience to those around me. She taught me all ends of the spectrum because in the same breath, she absolutely taught me not to take flack from anybody and to always stand up for myself.

My mother effortlessly danced the line between delicate and hard, between graceful and stubborn, between reliant and independent. I know without my mom's guidance in life, I would be nowhere near the woman I am today. I wish I had more time with her and I wish her years could have stretched into the hundreds. I wanted nothing more than for her to be happy and loved and at the very least, I know I can say she definitely was.

Life gives and takes and the balance of it all reminds us to ebb and flow like water. We can fight the current and exhaust ourselves all we want but we'd be better suited to let go and let the waves of life take us where it pleases and enjoy the ride. My mother LOVED the water. The metaphor of life being as a current, a wave, a tide, is beyond perfect. She was always at peace when in the water and with your help, her soul and being will be at peace once more when we spread her ashes into the ocean.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love you gave to my mom, her family, and myself. I know each and every one of you reading this by heart because of the stories my mom told me, the memories she recounted. Each and every one of you played in an integral part in her life whether it was through support of her or support of her children. She lives on through my brother and I and he and I will always do our very best to live our lives to the fullest in her honor. That way, when she looks down from Heaven, when her energy blows through the wind, when her essence is flowing through the waters around us, she can continue to rest knowing she gave us the strength and grace to be the very best versions of ourselves.

Thank you to all who have read this far. Please know just your emotional support in reading this is enough. If you find yourself in a place to support financially, I will be just that much more grateful. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would love to connect more with the friends my mom called family.

With all the love in my heart,

Genna Fuller

A daughter with two heavenly parents
