My mom passed away yesterday and how we are trying to bring her home. Please see the story.

My mom, Venita Mcelyea, was an amazing single mom. She raised to amazing people, my sister Tiffany and myself. Then helped me raise my 2 kids. She always wanted a big family but being adopted She was an only child. She taught us that there is no closer bond than family.

She had many ailments; diabetes, portal vein aneurysm, amputee survivor, and much much more. 

2 years ago my sister tracked down my mom's half sister. So then my mom's family grew and almost doubled. 

She passed while staying with them suddenly yesterday morning after her last stay at a hospital in Arizona. They discovered she needed a open heart surgery but she was not a good candidate due to her health. 

Now my sister and I are trying to get her home to texas. We already have a plot but all other costs are something we were not financially prepared for so suddenly. 

Any little bit helps and if you can't help financially then you could share. She deserves to be buried with her mom here at Restland. 

Thank you,

Melissa
