How you can help

Hi, Im Stephanie Lucas im best friend of
Michelle Shasteen-Coates. Im doing this for my best friend and family for Mama Coates..
I was the Brat from down the street growing up..
Brenda called me "the other daughter " i Can still hear that voice Everytime i walked thru the door. Screamin Stephanie Lynn. Ill never forget it. 😇
Recieved news that Sadly Brenda had passed On September 10th,2022
So i want to help do anything i can to help for her to have a proper funeral as she deserves. Like alot of families, tragedy hits when u dont expect it and the end of life celebration shouldnt be anything less then a beautiful Heartfelt send off to your loved one.
Brenda was a 1 of a kind lady. She had a big heart, would always make u laugh. She had a Vibrant spirt ,and was a good Woman., and Grandma she would help many people as much as she was able. She had struggled with sum medical issues over the years and has had her share of Financial struggles.
At this time im askin not only to help my Friend and Give them the piece of mind. of not having to struggle to give her mom the proper funeral. Michelle is and has always been there for me & my family.. But to everyone she comes in contact with she is a sweetheart, good friend, So at this time i want them to spend these next few days and weeks not stressing . Friends and family come together and lets show brenda how much she really was loved.. My friend is one not to ask for help. Shes stubborn like me ,its time to return the blessings we have had with brenda n her family. Jerry and michelle apprecite the help.
Michelle is always tryin to go beyond to help anyone when they need help. Think she got that from (Mama) . Mama took im all the stray kids the friends that jerry and michelle would bring over.
As sum of you know brendas children have been caring for brenda Medically, helpin financially, physically. Doing round the clock care on top of their daily lives. To make sure brenda was taken well care of , when she was homebound. Unable to her kids stepped in and took care of their mom well.
And bless their heart its time we all come together and help them with Monitary donations to cover the expences so She and her Family can have some peace knowing. They wont have to worry about layin brenda to rest the way she wanted . As well as the end of life finances. All the proceeded funds will be taken to the family prior to funeral. If anyone wants to help out additionally contact Stephanie. Or if you would like to Michelle and Jerry directly id rather just let them grieve and get arrangements handled. You can also contact and message me thru this site for donations monetary and other.
Im going to prepare a luncheon to be determined where, following the funeral proceedings. After arrangements are made and obituary is out.
i will take helping hands and extra side dishes as well. Im planning for buffet style potluck. Any kind of help is amazing and appreciated.
So Your kindness thru this rough time is what the family needs as we come together for brenda. donations are very much needed at this time to plan and pay for services and expenses . .
Also so very much appreciated. Thank you!!! Contribute
