Journal entry by Annie M

Good evening, friends and family.

 

Thank you all again for all your love and support. Today, I went to Korsmo with Pastor Ron and Pastor Eileen to settle the funeral and prayer service dates.

 

The prayer service/visitation will be taking place on Tuesday 5/28/19 at 5pm at Faith Hope Love Church.

 

The funeral will be taking place on Wednesday 5/29/19 at 2pm, also at Faith Hope Love Church.

The address is: 204 4th St S, Moorhead, MN, 56560

 

During visitation, you're welcome to share stories, pray, or simply visit with family and friends.

 

As per my mom's last wishes, her special request was to serve cake and ice cream after the service. She wanted this to be a celebration of life and love.

 

Now comes the part where I will need to swallow my pride and ask for help. I hope that none of you feel obligated to help me foot the bill of her cremation and the funeral services. Unfortunately, I was not left with much to work with after mom's death (assets or funds in her account or mine). During this period, I am also on an unpaid leave of absence, leaving me with very little to live off of.

 

If you find it in your heart to extend a little assistance, or if you're unable to attend and would like to send a gift or card please send to Annie Motschenbacher at 204 4th St S, Moorhead, MN, 56560 (same address as the church). I have been given clearance by Pastor Ron to make this request, but if you have questions, please comment here and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.

 

Thank you again for reading. My heart is still very broken, but I know the company of family and friends at my mother's prayer service and funeral will be a time of mutual healing. I look forward to seeing and/or hearing from all of you. To those of you that cannot make it: My heart is with you.
