Support Needed for Virginia’s Final Farewell By Kayla LaPrarie

As many of you know, my mom, Virginia Cole LaPrarie, passed away on May 15. She was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago. About 4 days before she died, she had a tumor removed from her brain. She was doing well from the surgery. She was fighting, but I guess her heart couldn’t take it; she had a heart attack.

It’s been 2 weeks since my mom passed, and we are struggling to reach the amount for her burial funeral. My brother and I agreed that we would have Mom cremated, but the funeral home that my mom is at now is still wanting to charge us the same amount as the burial funeral to do a 4-hour wake before cremation.

If we can come up with $2,200, another funeral home would be able to get Mom and allow us to have the 4-hour wake for her before cremation. My mom was a wonderful person who helped anyone she could. She loved her family, especially her grandbabies. I’m asking from the bottom of my heart for anyone who would please help us get the $2,200. Thank y’all and God bless.
