Remembering Elizabeth

For those of you who don't know, my beautiful wife Elizabeth passed away from cancer earlier this week. For those of you who know me, you'll know I'm not somebody who routinely has money saved. Although we saw this scenario approaching some way off, our priority whilst she was alive was making the most of life, doing things with Lacey, our dear daughter, whilst we still had the chance. We didn't want to spend what little time left we had dwelling on and budgeting for the worst. To be perfectly honest, I didn't want to think about funerals, or any such thing. And to be even more perfectly honest, I never realised how much even the simplest of funerals cost. With Lacey to tend to, and the smithereens of our future together to pick up, I just can't face the indignity and stress of having to find the money to pay for the occasion. I am hoping a family member or two might be able to help with the cost, but it isn't going to be anywhere enough to fund a simple ceremony to remember her by - because she is someone more than anyone else I've ever known who is worth remembering. She cared about the world so much, it didn't deserve her. 
I fully appreciate that some of you I have not seen or spoken to in some time. I appreciate that many if not all of you will have the spare cash or inclination to help. I have downloaded indiscriminately all of the addresses from my e-mail, so if you feel it inappropriate for any reason my sending this, please forgive me, I did not want to and have not felt able to cull the list. If you want, please just ignore it. but the more people I reach out to, the more possible it makes it. 
I am hoping to plan anything I can do for her within the next two weeks. Anything that can be contributed would be deeply felt.
