Assist Deborah Floyd's Family in Their Time of Need

Hi, everyone, this is Brittany Lopez. I really don't know how to say or write this, but as many of you know, my mother, Deborah Floyd, was killed on December 15th, in Morris, Illinois, from an unexpected tragedy.

Our family is now suffering from this unbearable loss, and it will never be the same without her. We are completely heartbroken. Deborah Floyd was always there if you needed her. She loved talking to everyone, and I mean everyone, and making people smile. Her family and friends meant everything to her.

From this sudden tragedy, we are now left with the hardship of planning a funeral and taking care of my little brother Jesse, who has always lived with my mother because he has autism. Jesse was my mom's whole world. As many of us know, she would always talk about him to everyone. Deborah lived her life for Lil Jesse. As I talk about Lil Jesse, his whole world literally has been taken from him. The only thing he has ever known is gone. He is lost without her, and it kills me to see him like this. And to top it off, Christmas is coming, and Jesse's birthday is on December 30. Talk about our life being turned upside down.

I know more than anything my mother would have greatly appreciated it if anyone could help with the cost of living for Lil Jesse and donate to help with funeral costs because if anyone deserves it, it would be my mom, Deborah Floyd. She deserves to be at rest after this crazy ride that we call life.

This has been the hardest thing for me to write because this is not how it was supposed to happen... I'm going to miss this woman so much.

Any amount means the world.

I will inform everyone when funeral arrangements are set...
