Funeral Memorial for Troy

Hello. My name is Linda and I am creating this on behalf of my sister, Laura. Below are her words:

With a heavy heart & puffy eyes, I am asking for help. My first baby, the guy who made me a mom 20 years ago, has passed away.

On Monday, July 10, 2023, I listened to the most earth-shattering, soul-crushing voicemail no mother should ever have to hear.

“Our son is dead.”

I wailed, I screamed until my throat was on fire. I yelled “Why” & “How could this happen” more times than I could count.

My baby is gone forever & there’s nothing I can do about that.

This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to go through. I had to beg for a funeral because his dad wanted a direct cremation.

I need to look at his sweet face, hold his hand, & tell my first baby goodbye forever.

We are finally going through with funeral plans & definitely going into debt over this, but I get to see my baby one last time & have the closure I need to even begin trying to heal.

To me, no amount of money matters compared to me saying goodbye to his face instead of an urn, but help to pay for this would be beyond appreciated.

Troy ~ I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.
