Mary Ann's Funeral Fund
Donation protected
Early this morning, at about 1~2 am on March 29th 2017, Mary Ann Kirchhoffer passed away after a heart attack and a stroke. She was pronounced dead in the driveway in the ambulance. Around 11:30 at night she was moaning and rocking back and forth and refused for us to call an ambulance for her. Then not 15 minutes later she had her fatal stroke.
Mary Ann was the best mother and the best wife we could have ever asked for. She knew all our friends from school and talked to them regularly, and loved our dad dearly and unconditionally. She raised us well and healthily, focusing on herbal and homeopathic remedies. She was intelligent, brave, and knew what needed to be done. She did so much for us as a family, and we've been rocked to our very core by her passing.
We're not entirely sure what our next steps should be, but final expenses are coming up fast. We have decided for her to be cremated, which is cheaper and allows her to stay at home with us. Unfortunately, we don't have this kind of money. Thus, the majority of this money is for the funeral and cremation. The other part of this money is to help keep us afloat as we figure out what course of action to take. There's many things to decide on; what to do with her belongings, what to keep, what to sell, what to do with her car, with her phone service, with the bills, with the house...the list seems endless. Besides that, we're going to lack her disability check which was just enough combined with everyone else's income to carry us on. As we get ourselves back on our feet we need help to make it there financially.
Whatever donation you can make would be highly appreciated by my family. If we could even reach beyond this goal it would help that much more. We're going to need a lot of help as we pick ourselves up, but if we stick together and help each other then maybe it will feel a little softer.
