Unexpected Funeral Expenses for Tina

Donation protected
Hello family and friends,

We are extremely saddened to report that, our baby sister, Modestina Marchione, “Tina”, has passed away unexpectedly. With this expense being unexpected and all of the circumstances surrounding her passing, we have decided to set up this fund to help pay for Tina’s funeral and funeral expenses.  Tina sadly leaves behind her beautiful daughter Doris, and many beloved family members; including, Nici, Tommy, Danielle, Angel, JT, and Bobby.

Anyone that knew our family knew the struggles we all faced before and after, our parents tragic passings within a year of each other.  T. T. was 19 when our mother tragically passed away, just 4 months after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Then, 13 months later, while 9 months pregnant with her daughter, she then had to deal with the passing of her father.  Which left Tina, with many unanswered questions about what happened in her life up to that point.  Our childhood was not a safe or easy one, we feared everyday that anything we did would send our father into a blind rage that he could not control because of the demons that haunted him from the war.

On January 13th, 2008, T. T. gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Doris, who she named for our mother. She tried so hard to escape her pass and tried so hard to be a loving and protecting mother to her daughter more than anything. She loved her daughter more than anything but she realized the past that haunted her, was starting to effect her as a mother. She made the hardest decision of her life and reached out to her sister who knew she would care for her and love her just as if she was her own.

On June 27th, 2015, Tina watched her baby girl drive away... heading for a better life in Pennsylvania.  She did not know that, that would be the last time she would ever hold her baby in her arms again.  But, with nothing left but faith and hope... Tina knew her baby would be loved and cared for, she knew she would have a normal life again.  Where she would be able to go to school and to church; surrounded by loving family.

Lastly, thank you so much for anything you can and will donate, we appreciate everyone very much. Please pray for our family during this time. Also, please share this fundraiser as much as possible!
