  • Mom

    My mother passed away early morning June 12th. I love you mom, it rained all day today. For the last 6 months, every time I was leaving a visit, we would play the little wooden up box with the music to “you are my sunshine” and we would sing. What a beautiful tradition we created. My sky has been gray since you left, but I know the sun will shine brighter again. I keep thinking of the 3 of you up there smiling and laughing and how freaking happy you must be and I am filled with joy for you. I love you all so much. So much at times the love almost feels overwhelming. Then I think how lucky I am to have so many angels watching over me.


About this fundraiser

With profound sorrow yet eternal hope I share with you that my mother Penny Van Deman is in her final moments of life and will be ascended to heaven to reunite with the love of her life, my dad. Despite navigating life's challenges since losing my dad my mom's life insurance was unfortunately lost and I wasn't able to prepare for funeral expenses now we're facing unforeseen costs. At this time we're humbly seeking donations to help cover these expenses.
