How you can help

Dear friends and family,

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the death of my mother Kristine Kruk. For those of you that knew my mother, you knew that she struggled in life and she lost that battle. She did fight until a few weeks before her passing when she lost her brother. Once she lost her brother it's like she surrendered to the fight of her life.

We are told that we need to prepare for death but sometimes it is impossible when it sneaks up on us and takes us so suddenly. My mother was a ray of sunshine that would brighten a room when she walked in along with the lives of many people she knew and loved. For those of you that knew her, you knew she was a selfless person throughout her life. She would give the shirt off of her back to someone if she saw they were in need.

On August 21, 2020 heaven gained another true angel as my mother spread her wings to go home. She is not only now with her brother but she is with her mom and dad as well. This is something she has wanted for a while now and she truly went in peace.

I'm sure you can only imagine that my sister and I were nowhere near prepared for the financial burden that comes with giving our mother the proper burial and funeral expenses that come along with the passing of our mother. We have chosen to have our mother cremated and we want to give her a funeral service. We are reaching out in hopes of giving our mother the proper service that she deserves. If anyone can help us out in our time of need we would greatly appreciate it. We understand that during these hard times with the coronavirus it may not be possible to help us out. If you can not help us out then please keep us in your prayers and we go along this journey.

So you know exactly where your donation will be used, we are planning to give our mother a modest, but proper ceremony. Every little bit helps. Below is a list of our spending.

As you can see our goal is $3,000 for her cremation, service at the funeral home, urn, and a family luncheon.

Thank you so much for consideration in donating along with reading about the passing of our sweet sweet mother Kristine Kruk. She loves each and every one of us. Even if she did not personally know you. She had a heart filled with love.

Thanks so much,
Jennifer Gaska & Brandy Meredith
