Bring Terrie Lynn Cook Steed's Ashes Home

Hi, my name is Ashlei Come, and I’m reaching out with a heavy but hopeful heart.

Recently, I found out that my mother, Terrie Lynn Cook Steed, was cremated without my knowledge—because they believed she had no family left. But I am her family. I always have been. I am her daughter, and I will not let her story end in silence or separation.

I’m raising $950 to bring my mother’s ashes home—to honor her, to give her the dignity she deserves, and to finally bring peace to both of our spirits. Every dollar will go directly toward the cost of recovering her remains and ensuring they are laid to rest with love and truth.

If you’ve ever lost someone and felt the pain of being kept away from closure, you understand. I don’t just want her ashes—I need to make things right. To bring her home. To say goodbye in the way she deserves.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing this would mean everything to me. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me honor my mom.

With love and deepest gratitude,

Ashlei Come
