Carrying out my mom's wish to be cremated

My name is Linda and I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer less than 2 months after her diagnosis. My mom was generous, funny and a great cook. She could make a meal from just about anything! She loved to be outside and used to garden and spend time at the river when she was physically able. She worked up to just before her diagnosis and her customers absolutely adored her. She was a very well loved woman.

I've lost all of my siblings in about the last 5 years with my last sister being just a year ago.This is all overwhelming and sudden.

I've donated to many of these, but never did I imagine I would be the one creating one. The $3,000 just covers the cost of the mortuary for transporting her from her after she passed, keeping her until cremation, and her cost of cremation. This does not cover any additional expenses or services.

If you are able, I really appreciate whatever you can provide. If you're not able, that's totally okay. Just send up a prayer or positive thoughts.
