Help Lay a Beautiful Soul to Rest

Hi friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart on behalf of my best friend and her grieving family, who just experienced the sudden and devastating loss of her beloved mother, Susan.

Susan had just celebrated her 67th birthday this month. She was the heart of her family — a devoted wife, loving mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a truly selfless woman who gave everything she had to care for those around her. Her passing came without warning, and she was not prepared financially, leaving her loved ones struggling to cover even the basic cost of cremation.

To make matters worse, her husband — who just turned 64 and is still too young for Medicare — fell shortly after her passing and has since developed pneumonia. He is now sick, heartbroken, and trying to hold on through unbearable grief while also worrying about how to afford food, essentials, and care for their beloved cats.

We’re humbly asking for help. Any amount — no matter how small — will go toward her cremation, household needs, and helping her husband through this incredibly painful time. Even if you can't donate, simply sharing this post means the world to us.

Thank you for your compassion, your prayers, and your love.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tomasello Family
