In Memory of Rizalina F. Atizado. Please help.

This is my Mom, Rizalina F. Atizado, she was 84 years old.  For the past 4 years, I've been taking care of her after she couldn’t take care of herself any longer.  Last week, she passed away suddenly and she is so missed badly.

She loved baking, Hershey’s Kisses and watching The Sound of Music or Wheel of Fortune (most game shows really).  When she was more able, she loved to garden (her rose bushes were amazing), to visit with friends at the community center or go to farms and get fresh vegetables.  For me, I loved that no matter what the situation was, she had a smile on her face and could make me feel better when I was down.  Mom understood my passion for music and always encouraged me to do things that made me happy.  I had a sister but she died before I was born so I was her pride and joy and tried to make her proud.

The years of caring for her has made a financial dent and she didn’t leave a life insurance policy to take care of the costs associated with the funeral or other bills. It’s thousands of dollars to have them do anything at all, let alone to have her laid to rest with the family.  It’s a tough time, and affording the funeral is adding to the stress, and my expensive health issues, so anything you can do to contribute to the memorial is deeply appreciated. 

If you cannot afford to give anything, please send your love or kind words if you haven’t already.  I could use any support at this time.
