I'd like to introduce you to Mary Darlene..she's  our Mom..and she's dying.

You see we're all dying aren't we?  One day another step closer to when ever our time ends. But for some of us..we have a set time.
For her...it's 5 to 7 days from now...give...or take.

Last year on October 28th 2017 she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. In April after 6 months of chemotherapy and radiation she was in remission..and we thought this was a good sign. However on September 24th of 2018 her follow up revealed that it not only had come back but had metastasized to her kidneys.  She started her second round of a more aggressive chemotherapy in early October  but with her age, the recent loss of her own mother and sheer exhaustion..her body simply cannot handle the treatments.  So she's decided to forgo them and live for quality time with her Children and Grandchildren rather than quantity. 
When her time gets here..she want's to be cremated, she doesn't want to take up any more space on this earth, she only wants to take up space in our hearts. I want to give her what she wants. A cremation and a small family ceremony followed by a casting of ashes. But..she wants some of her ashes  to be taken and blown into glass. Hearts for her grandchildren,  and a Tree of life sculptures for her children.  Between the crematorium and service costs, shipping her ashes to a qualified glass blower it's looking to be $5000 dollars. We were originally told we had 5 to 6 months left with our mother....in a matter of weeks that 5 to 6 months became days. Just  days left to raise what to us is a small fortune. I don't like asking for help for things. I'm more of a giver then a taker..but right now in this time and moment I'm asking for help to give my Mother the peace she is asking for after death. 
Help get her back to her beginning...back to her roots..back to the ashes we are made from.

Thank you and Gods Bless
