I don’t know how many people know this, but my great-aunt died just the other day, right before Mother’s Day. She didn’t have much money, we don’t have many family members left connected to her, and in order to save her body from being put in a wooden box and into an unmarked grave, we must figure out a way to gain $1,200 to get her cremated so she can be buried with her mother.
She’s my grandmother’s older sister, and had been the last living sibling out of nine. And I’d hate for any family member to be buried in a wooden box, especially since it wasn’t her dying wish. I’m doing this for my family.
If you care to help out at all, you can do it two ways:
Send a check with any amount or cash to the follow address:
Maddox Funeral Home
105 West Main St.
Front Royal, VA 22630On the check, make sure the memo says “Helen Bagerly” so they know it’s to go toward her. And if you send cash, put a note in the envelope stating that it’s for her. And be sure to let me know if you do this so we can make sure it’s received. Just tell me your name and the amount.
Or you can go to my theme blog and click donate to me at the bottom, and then just send me a message telling me that’s the purpose. Or you can send me something to mandalger@gmail.com and put “Helen Bagerly” as the reason for the gift.
If you happen to donate, you can send me your name and address and I will send you a thank you card in time. I will be sure to make sure that you really did contribute something before I send one.
If you choose not to help, that’s fine, I really don’t blame anyone because it’s no one’s concern. But perhaps reblog it for me? Thank you so much.
