Memorial & cremation of Lanna Walthers

Donation protected
Hello, I’m McKeenzie Walthers. My mom, Lanna died of stage 4 non small cell lung cancer. We knew this day was coming but we thought we had more time. On 1/30 my mom was her happy go lucky self, just goofing around, playing with the dogs. Then on 1/31 she was rushed to the ER wjth her heart rate dropping and had to be put on 15L of oxygen. She was then flown to Reno where they tried their best to help her. Her palates were at a 7 and no matter how many bags they gave her, it wasn’t helping. When my sister and I showed up, she recognized us but she wasn’t awake longer than 3 minutes at a time. By the next day, she had no idea who we were or who she was. They asked us if we should end treatment and we said yes because we don’t want her to suffer. The next day we called and asked the nurse to tell my mom that her daughters and her grandsons love her, and she passed away a half an hour after that❤️. We are wanting to bring her home from Reno and have her cremated. Due to Kelsey and I's situation, we can't afford to do this alone.  I am selling my 2014 Ram 1500 in order to afford the cremation payment. I also making earrings that I will be ‘selling’ but all the money will go to my moms cremation. Anything helps. Thank you.
