I'd like to raise some money to help towards some of the things mom has requested before her passing. Money to help pay for some of the funeral expenses and towards providing her with a beautiful memorial/monument. We appreciate the money previously raised via gofundme and through the benefit that was hosted and will never forget those who contributed. Thank you

Just a month ago I was posting my Mom's weightloss and health update, within 30 days one of the most aggressive cancers took my Mom away from me forever. I will never see her again, hear her sweet voice, see her beautiful smile or receive her guidance. I was with her every step of the way and held her hand during her last breath. If you cannot imagine the lost empty hurt feeling I am feeling inside, simply imagine the greatest person in the world to you, your best friend, the person you love more than anything combined suffering and dying more and more each day in front of your very own eyes. My Mom lived a very sad life, treated awful by Men, she gave birth to all three of us alone in the hospital. Growing up she would sacrifice everything she had so that we could have. During the time of her becoming terminally ill, I didn't see a grown woman going through pain, I saw a young girl so very very scared to lose her sons, her grandchildren, her life and after all the positive changes she made in her life before her diagnosis. The universe still took her away. It pains me deeply that the most awful people in the world will exceed many years beyond the good that die so young. I find it so hard to think of the positive when all I can remember is her recent suffering. She was so proud of me, we were in sync. Both so silly and fun loving, I am a reflection of everything she was and because of that she will never truly die. Does this bring me comfort, not right now it doesn't. She lived each and every day by her sons, grandchildren and siblings. She lost her parents at a young age and now history repeats itself. Everything I have has lost all value the second I heard my Mom was sick, the moment she called me crying and told me she was dying and didn't have much time. People had wrote that they will be at her next benefit and sorry they couldn't make it. I thought to myself, there wont be a next benefit and that if anyone truly valued my mother like they had said, that they would not take time for granted, yet we all always do. My Mom has touched so many people and impacted their lives in so many ways. Please value her words as she was wise beyond her years. I spent so much time trying to give my Mom hope, but she knew what was to come and I will never forget how scared she was. The night before she passed away I was watching her and she was uncomfortable, without words or the ability to speak and I broke down, my heart started beating out of my chest, tears poured down my face and I screamed for help but noone could hear me. As weak as my Mom was she lifted her head, opened her eyes just a little and asked me whats wrong.. with very little strength she threw her arms over me and fell towards me hugging me. I knew then she knew we were about to lose our beautiful Mom. Today marks the first day of the rest of my life. They say time heals all wounds but I know my truth. I have a million regrets and I know she wouldnt want me to because her love and understanding were so strong. Life will never be the same, even the shining of the sun will forever seem dark and the thoughts of my Mom will never leave my heart. My brothers and I don't have much, our family is a little one. I pray that God walks with us every step of the way. That he takes my Mother into paradise and that we forever feel her presence here on earth. Rest in Peace Mom, Rest in Peace Fay Ellen Campbell, you are everything to me and more and I cannot believe I will live the rest of my life without you
