Community and Family,

I hope this message finds you well. We wanted to reach out and extend our heartfelt appreciation for your generous contribution towards the funeral services for our beloved niece, Serena. Your kindness and support during this profoundly challenging time have touched our hearts in ways we cannot fully express.

We want to share with you how the funds were utilized, as transparency and accountability are of utmost importance to us.

Your donation help to cover the funeral home expenses at Omega Funeral in Portland including the casket, flight transportation, and necessary arrangements that totaled $5,105.55.

It also helped cover the costs associated with the memorial service, such as burial plot, venue, and programs in Shawnee Oklahoma totaling $6,300.00.

Thanks to your selflessness and the contributions of others, we were able to give Serena a dignified farewell that truly honors her memory. Your support not only helped to ease the financial burden we face but also provided us with the opportunity to focus on grieving and celebrating Serena's life.

Please know that your generosity has made a significant impact, not only on our family but also on everyone who loved Serena. Your compassion and willingness to stand by us during this difficult period have given us strength and comfort.

With profound gratitude,

Serena touched our lives with her unwavering spirit, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever resonate within us. We want to celebrate her life in a way that reflects the love and affection she received from her community and family.

In the wake of this tragedy, we are faced with the overwhelming task of bringing Serena's body from Portland to Oklahoma, her home, where we wish to give her a proper farewell. Additionally, the costs associated with her funeral arrangements have placed a burden on our grieving family.

We turn to our family and community, in the hopes that you can help during this time. Your support, whether big or small, will make a significant difference in allowing us to honor Serena with the farewell she deserves.

The funds raised will be used primarily for the transportation of Serena's body from Portland to Oklahoma, as well as covering the funeral expenses. Every contribution will be handled with utmost transparency, ensuring that your generosity directly serves the purpose it was intended for.

We kindly ask you to join us in celebrating Serena's life by making a donation and sharing this fundraiser within your networks. Even if you are unable to contribute financially, your thoughts, prayers, and words of comfort are deeply appreciated during this challenging period.
