Funeral Cost for Irene E Buete

Hello everyone. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Life is full of beautiful moments, but I come to you now to share this is unfortunate dark time for me and my loved ones. It's extremely difficult for me to ask for help, but I have faith that our prayers will be answered.

I am heartbroken to announce my mother, Irene E Buete, passed away this Thursday, on July 11, 2019 after 9 months of battling pancreatic cancer.

She was an extremely strong and independent woman, who always stayed true to herself and was diligent with her responsibilities; always reassuring everyone that she had everything under control and handled... including the finances for her inevitable death and funeral. Whenever any of us brought it up, she quickly brushed it off, swearing that there was still a left over balance from my father's life insurance policy. None of us thought to even question her, for she always stayed by her word... always followed by a smile.

 My mother loved life. She loved her kids dearly, adored all of her grandchildren, and was a big animal lover and she gave me my love for animals.   She was the strongest person I ever met. She had endured so much in life but always picked herself up with no help just her sheer will. That strength came out in everything she did, helping her family or friends. My Mother never gave up, she pushed through, I really believe she would. Because she never backed down and never gave up. All She wanted to do was to be a great grandma to Baby G in that is due in August

Being a widow twice at the age of 23 with 3 kids to raise, and then at the age of 53 with our dad Charlie that help raise us with her. She loved life so much, she dreamed of how she wanted people to celebrate hers after she passed. 

 However, when the time came and we finally had to call the life insurance company... they informed us that the funds are unavailable, despite the physical documentation she had stating the remaining balance... My heart sank. Not only have I lost the one person who has always been there for me... the person who I would turn to in a time like this... but now I am left with in utter shock and disbelief on how I will be able to accomplish my mother's dying wish...

With less than a week to gather enough funds to give my mother the proper burial service she deserves, I am reaching out from the bottom of my heart, to all our friends and family, asking for any donation you feel called to give... no matter the size.

Thank you all for opening your hearts to take the time to read this. Despite how dark this time is... I have faith in the light at the end of the tunnel.
