Background

I’m not very good at this and I hate that I have to ask for help so here it goes. My mom Connie suffered from a massive stroke the doctors stated it should have killed her but we all know my mother she was a fighter. She stayed with us for as long as she could, we at least got to say our final good-byes and whatever else she needed to hear. She was only 55 when she left us and I feel she was robbed from her life because she was so young yet. My mom was an amazing woman and she was always a fighter. She would always fight for whatever she felt was right. I meant this in the most positive way possible. She most definitely had a unique zest for life that will be missed. You cannot simply describe my mom’s personality but you could feel it in her warm laughs, you could see it in the treasures she collected. And you can hear about it in a Kid Rock songs. She wore rose colors glasses that I used to think skewed her perspective. It’s turns out that they just protected the version of the world she needed to feel safe and included with.
She would fight for anybody’s right if she felt you were mistreated she was there to speak her mind. Always supporting an underdog somewhere between little falls and st.cloud. I swear she should have been a lawyer she would have been the best person to represent you in any situation. She would never back down from nothing. I remember her being so brave , bold and beautiful. I swear she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I see now I look up to her more than I realized. She has taught me a lot of the years. We wished and prayed and hoped that she could pull through this but even if she did it would have left her miserable and basically a vegetable for the remainder of whatever life she had left to live. My mom shed her last tears and took her last breath at 9:48pm October 15th as I held her in my arms. Something I will never forget and I didn’t want to let her go but I knew I had too. We want to be able to at least give my mom the best burial we can she at least deserves that if I can make it happen I’m gonna do what I can to make it happen even if I have to reach out to everyone through this website.

My mom left behind myself, two younger brothers and grandchildren, my grandma and grandpa and her four siblings which we unfortunately don’t have the means to pay for the extra expenses that cover the left over funeral costs which I’m still in the process of learning. We as a whole family will appreciate whatever we can raise to put towards her services/ceremony. Thank you
