Help Honor Lisa Ann Auter's Memory and Laying her to rest

Hey everyone! It's Amber and Aubrey, the daughters of Lisa Ann Auter. We tragically and so unexpectedly lost our mother yesterday morning at 1:11 am; she went to be with the Lord. She LOVED her Daddy so much, and we truly feel that when she crossed the gates of heaven, her Mama and Daddy were waiting for her with open arms.

This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to face as I, Amber, am the oldest and have a few more things to handle, and I am now the leader of our little family. Mama always said, "You're going to need to stick together because I won't always be here." We are so thankful this process brought us together. Aubrey is here with me in Utah helping me with arrangements we never thought we'd have to make. We don't know what we're doing. We're doing our absolute best to honor her and her remains the best we can. Mama was an RN for 25 years and took care of thousands of patients at the end of life; she deserves the best.

But, with that being said, she had fallen on some hard times recently due to her health and losing her health insurance because she couldn't keep her job because she was sick. She ended up being homeless and had been living in a homeless shelter in the last days of her life. She had $37 to her name, half a bag of Wasabi nuts, and a Ferrero Rocher in her pocket. That is all she had to her name when she died, and it breaks me and my sister's heart. She knew something was wrong, and we have no answers still as to why she died in such a sudden and horrible, tragic way. After we are done grieving and taking care of her and laying her to rest, we plan on figuring out what happened. But right now, we just want to focus on one task at a time.

We live paycheck to paycheck, none of us have a savings like I'm sure a lot of people in America now, and we can really use some help. The funeral home gave us a $500 discount due to her homeless state and is giving her a memorial at no cost to us, which is so beautiful and amazing, but the cremation and urns, and slide shows and cards, and cremation taxes and permits—all these things we had no idea about—are way more than we could ever afford. Please, if you can help us in any way, even $5 counts. Everything adds up, and you all matter in this process with us. We aren't asking for anything fancy, but we would like to do right by her, and I really need some help.

Please God, let her know how much we loved her, and even though we were all fighting, we don't know how to go on without our Mom!! We were not ready, and no two young girls should have to leave their mom to rest the way we had to last night. She did let out her last breath while Aubrey and I had our heads on her chest, and Adam was on speakerphone with us, so she had all three of her babies, which is what she wanted. All she ever said to us as kids was she didn't want to be on a ventilator or be kept alive as a vegetable, so we made sure we kept the only wishes we knew she had for sure. With that, we are so thankful and blessed that we were all able to make it next to her and be able to relay her wishes in time.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Please be patient for responses as we are mourning also. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! ❤️
