How you can help

Janet Smith, a great mom and grandma passed away last sunday(May 2 2021) unexpectedly. To say we were shocked is an understatement. Unfortunately Im not financially able to pay for final funeral expenses , unpaid bills and family home property taxes, at this time.
My mom was the best mom, grandma, great grandma EVER!! Her house was open to all that needed help or just had great news to share. She would always say this house was built with love and is to be open for anyone needing help. You can feel her love still in these old walls that hold this house up strong.
She was a funny, and very creative in helping us with our problems. She seen the good in everyone she met. One of her coined phrases was WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? She jyst had the gift of gab. Making people feel better about themselves.
She used to sing this did-da-lee::
" Oh we aint got a barrel if money, but maybe we are ragged and funny. But we travel along singing this song side by side....."
Would entertain the 'lil ones with stories and old wisetales.
So many condolences keep floodi g my email. She was loved by so many. Thank you all for helping me during this difficult time.
Please help me keep her spirit alive and thriving. Asking help for final expenses . Contribute
