Wigle Family Funeral Expenses

We all have our scars...some aren't as visible. At the beginning of my life, I required life saving surgery and my mother never left my side. She patched & sewed my clothes, kissed my boo-boos as a child, cheered me on at t-ball, spent countless hours selling peanut brittle for school fundraisers. She fought for my life, for my growth, and for my happiness. Her last few months of life and passing have left a huge hole in the lives of everyone she knew and touched, but her love didn't stop there. 

My mother loved to cook, loved to fish, loved to garden, and loved animals. Everything and everyone she touched is better for it. In her final weeks, her family used all their available funds and time to ensure she was comfortable and knew she was loved. My father, her husband and soul-mate, knows no other life without her and is so lost. 

The only requests she ever made about her passing was not to mourn and a simple cremation. Unfortunately, both seem so out of reach. How do you not mourn a woman who you knew was your soul mate, even as a small child? How do you not mourn a woman who LITERALLY gave her blood, sweat, and tears to make sure you knew love? She has given so much in her life and we just want to honor her wishes, but money is in very short supply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
