Donate to Anabelle's Memorial Fund

Hello all, my name is Kristin and my daughter and I are starting this GoFundMe for my best friend, Alista. Alista and I have been inseparable best friends since 4th grade. In that time, she has had 8 children. Anabelle Juliene is Alista’s first born daughter who tragically passed away on Wednesday, October 23rd. She was 16 years old. Anabelle was a creative, talented, and loving young woman. She was an exceptional artist, her way of creating art through emotions and visual talent inspired many of all ages. She loved to read, spend time in nature and I remember doing puzzles with her ever since she was a toddler. Anabelle had her whole entire life ahead of her. She was so bright and showed so much love to her family, as she was loved and will always be loved so incredibly deeply. There is nothing more horrific than an innocent life being taken too soon. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child, and I would like to make sure Alista and her family are able to grieve this extremely emotional time. As this unimaginative passing was unexpected, funeral costs are incredibly high, I made this GoFundMe to hopefully help cover the funeral and tombstone costs for Anabelle, as the family would like to give her as much as they possibly can. All proceeds will go directly to the costs of the funeral expenses. On behalf of the family, we would like to thank you so much for all of your support during this difficult time. Alista and family deeply appreciates your donations, thoughts, and prayers.
