Sharon Gendron Memorial
Donation protected
This is so incredibly hard to convey. I am writing this on behalf of my Dad, Sister, and myself.
On Thursday May 11th, our vibrant, healthy, beautiful Wife and Mum Sharon suddenly and tragically passed away. As you all know my Mum had a very difficult life, but still managed to be the most positive, loving and empathetic woman. She was diagnosed so young at 13 with type 1 Diabetes But always took care of herself, better than anyone we’ve known. She was in all aspects, a very healthy person, who went to the Doctor very regularly. This has all been a complete and utter shock and tragedy for all of us that were lucky enough to know and love her. Unfortunately because of her Diabetes she was unable to get any sort of Life Insurance that was obtainable. Ultimately she had to leave her job early, without the benefit of retirement and/severance. So here we are at this point that in all honesty we never thought we would be. My Mum had a simple but beautiful Funeral Service that she very much deserved, surrounded by the people she loves most in this world. Our Dad however is struggling with having to make payments. He is receiving very little per month and also had to stop working without the benefit of retirement or severance due to his Brain Surgery caused by his Essential Tremor Diagnosis. We are at a loss. We need help. If anyone is able to donate to help alleviate this stress for our Dad we would appreciate it so very much We know in these super difficult times many people are struggling financially as well and if you aren’t able to donate we completely understand that.
Thank you for being here for our Family during the worst time in our lives. We love you and appreciate it more than you will ever know
