Jennifer Lynn Valencia Help us Lay Jennifer to Rest

Donation protected
Good Morning,
It has been a week today since our beatiful daughter/mother/sister took her last breath. As a mother it was one of the hardest things I have ever been through.
We will be laying our beautiful Jennifer to rest on October 23rd in a private family service.
You have all been so generous, yet we are still a little short of our goal. If anyone can please share or donate it would be greatly appreciated. If you are not comfortable with donations online yet would like to donate please contact me.

Thank you all for your kindness and generosity during this very difficult time for our family.
Katrina, Glenn and Family


Hello, my name is Katrina Marowski. I have a 45 year old daughter, who has two children. My daughter's name is Jennifer. Jennifer has been fighting Crohns disease for 25 years. Due to the Crohns disease and all of the various medications that have gone along with it over the last 25 years, Jennifer also developed kidney disease, leading to Hemodialysis. Over the years of dialysis and again medications for all the other things that came along, Jennifer developed heart issues. A little over a year ago Jennifer had two heart valves replaced. Then we found out due to all of the steroids for the Crohns her bones had weakened and her sternum disintegrated. Jennifer then had to go in for emergency surgery to have a titanium plate put in to replace her sternum. Since that point in October of 2023, Jennifer has been in and out of the hospital, she has never, never wanted to give up. She wanted to live to be here for her children who are now 20 and 22. They have never known a time when their mother has not been sick, yes she has had good times. Times when there has been no hospital and she could do things with the kids and go places with them, but never a time when she didn't have to rest or slow down due to her illnesses.
Now the time has come when her poor body has had all it can handle, she has horrible sores and has been in terrible pain.

The mortuary is wants $8065 to handle my daughter. That is with a 15% discount because they have handle so many other people in my family. The cemetery, where I already own the plot $3300+ tax and this does not include a casket or death certificate. When did burying your child become such a racket? Thank you anything will help.
