In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to Nova's ashes to be scattered in a Redwood Forest.

Background

When asked what she wanted her funeral to be like, Nova said, "Whatever you do, please do not spend any money on funerals and caskets, just turn me into ashes and scatter me among the giant redwood trees. Or I will haunt you!" (Anybody who knew Nova, knows that her humor was always unexpected and hilarious)

Nova was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Triple Negative, metastatic cancer that had spread to her liver, and lungs. The medical costs depleted her money she saved. The combination of the insurance company not approving treatments, and unexpected emergency room visits delayed her treatments making the cancer progress even further.

She was about to relocate with her job to Oregon until the cancer pain forced her to leave her work. She really loved working with Gilbert and his family, and her co-workers at the Dental Lab. It depressed her that she could not work with them again. She really did adore them.

As her twin and caretaker I have witnessed too many of her dreams and goals destroyed by her cancer, and I will do what it takes to make this one last dream come true.

In order to make it happen, we need help financing Nova’s last wish. She wants her family to take her ashes to the redwood forest in Oregon, along with her beloved kitty Boo that had passed away the year before.

If we can make this one wish come true, it will give our family and those who love her, much peace knowing at least this one thing did not get destroyed by the cancer.

Much love to you all.
Rest in the light, my sweet beloved sister.
We and those who love you will make your wish come true.

Update from Oct. 5, 2023

Thank you to everybody that helped her get there. She's flying high and exploring this beautiful place. :)

P.S. Any donations from here on, will be donated to our local Breast Cancer Communities here in Hendricks County in Nova's name. They helped her a lot and it only makes sense to give back.

Update from Sept. 27, 2023

Nova is resting among the Redwoods in Oregon! Thank you all who have contributed to make this a reality.

If you'd like to visit the places she rests at, she is located at the Redwood Interpretive Trail in Brookings, Oregon (NOT to be confused with Redwood National Park of California). For more information: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recar…

She also rests at Secret Beach Trail also in Brookings, Oregon.

Please don't leave any objects behind unless it fits with the natural environment. The saying here is, "Leave No Trace" so that we can preserve the beauty of the land.
