Linda Hornes Cremation

Sadly my mother Linda Horne passed away early Thursday morning June 27, 2019, which was very sudden and unexpected, to say the least. She had been throwing up late Wednesday evening and mentioned that she felt some pressure in her stomach which she attributed to gas. After taking an over the counter gas relief pill to hopefully give her some relief she went to bed. At no point did she say she needed to go to the hospital. I found her unresponsive on the floor of her room at about eight fifteen the next morning she had thrown up a medium sized puddle of blood during the night. EMS told me she had had an upper GI bleed and what she thought was gas was actually her stomach beginning to fill up with blood. They said that there was nothing that could have been done for her that even if she had been in a hospital her chances of living were slim if at all. She had only been living with me for about three months after leaving her sisters. We were well on the way to getting her settled in she had her own room, T.V., etc. My mother's life wasn't easy growing up and she just seemed to never be satisfied with anything that was positive in her life, but I loved her for who she was. I wanted whatever years she had left to be as happy as possible and another aspect of her being here was that we'd now be able to spend some time together. There were no warnings that those years would be ending so soon. My mother had no insurance when she passed and I in no way can afford to have here cremated by myself. I am setting up this go fund me page because I must ask for and desperately need the kindness of strangers and friends to help me do right by my mom and fulfill her wish. Any amount is most welcome and appreciated more than any words can truly express. If no monetary donation can be made please know that all prayers are most welcome and needed. Every penny will be spent on her cremation I promise you the amount asked for is the exact dollar amount it will cost in full. I and my family want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all the well wishes and prayers we have received. God bless you all.
