Funeral Expenses for Gala Waters
Donation protected
Our family is in need of donations for my mother, Gala Carol Mary (Barrows) Waters funeral expenses that are out pocket expenses because mom did not have life insurance. Momma helped a lot of people through the years. She was a very loving and caring person to many people. Please help our family out during our time of grief, sorrow, and despair. She loved making crafts especially with: crochet, plastic canvas projects, artificial flower arrangements to put in cemeteries or flags for Veterans for any occasion. Our beloved mother is in need of help with her funeral expenses. Help us reach the goal for her to rest in heavenly peace. Brother Derrick Brown is entrusted with all donations for the go fund me account. Donations can also be given to Davis-Watkins Funeral Home here in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. The amount above does include a headstone.
