Cremation fund for Cheryl Linn-Vitan

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Terry. I am raising funds to help fund the cremation of my wife. I had life insurance on her when I was working, but lost it when I retired early(bad knees). She had beaten small cell lung cancer in 2019. She was so proud of that moment, as was I. But, when I retired, I tried to get life insurance. But I couldn't find anybody that would insure a former Cancer patient. We tried to save money to cover it, but retirement check only goes so far. Cheryl was a friend to so many people. A big heart and never met somebody she wouldn't call a friend. The doctors found small cell lung cancer again in January. She did two rounds of Chemo and found her body wouldn't handle it. Treatment was stopped. Then she lost the use of her legs. In and out of the hospital for 10 days. At first we were told she had less then six months to live. Then she was re-evaluated in Iowa City by another doctor. That doctor said she didn't have months, but 2 to 3 weeks left, maybe less. The cancer had become extremely aggressive. She passed away 5 days later. I normally try to things the best I can, but this is almost beyond me. Can you please help me pay her cremation cost? If there is anything above the amount, I will donate it to charity that deals with cancer. Please help if you can. Thank you and God Bless.
