Hi everyone!! I would like to introduce myself and tell you a little about my family and why I started my business. My name is Angela. I am a legally blind grandmother of 6 wonderful children. I am in the process of trying to get custody of my 5 and 3 year old. Both of my parents are gone. My Dad died July 13 of 2011. He was buried on July 16, 2011. This happens to be my Mother's birthday. They could not stand each other so there was no love lost. Momma told me that was the best birthday present she could get. I did love my dad but it didn't hurt as much as Momma's death. She was my best friend, My and the one person who loved me unconditionally. The day she died I had been to her house and like I always did on the way out I kissed the top of her head, told her I loved her and if she needed anything at all to call me. The call came early at 2:30 in the morning on March 13, 2018. The last words ever spoken were to me, she said, "Angie, I can't breathe." I quickly hung up the phone and called 9-1-1 to send an ambulance. "She died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital and they brought her back, but in all honesty it was too late. She would never recover this time. She was my world and I tried everything I could to keep her alive. I quit eating and refused to leave her side while she was on life support. I was 52 at the time and had no clue how to live without her.The doctors said she was hanging on only because of me. I finally realized I was being selfish and she wasn't coming back. I had to let her go. After coming off life support she lived a day and then at 11:30 in the morning on March 18, 2018 she quietly drew her last breath.. I lost my world that morning. I went into shock when the funeral home came to get her and I never really came out of it for the first 3 months. She even picked out the dress I would wear to her funeral and I had no idea at the time. A year later the pain is still there.
Mom had no insurance and that hurt even worse. Because of this her funeral was not the best. It was left up to my only sibling and I to pay for her funeral.and headstone. This is a hard thing to do when you draw only disability. We are thankful to the owner of the funeral home, he donated her coffin and one of the florists donated her spray. I was in so much pain over losing her and then a few months later out of the blue my daughter took my 4 year old granddaughter that I had raised all of her life and handed her to an alleged child abuser, her father. I haven't seen her since. But I am trying hard to fight for custody in Superior court. Harlow was my shadow and I know she is in as much pain as I am. My daughters new boyfriend is very mean to her. He has a habit of hitting her in the head and mouth.
I needed a way to keep my mind busy, make the money I needed to pay for attorneys and the funeral when it came to me to make memorials. I tried it out by making a trolls jar for my little Harlow. It was a hit so then I made my first memorial jar of my Momma. I found a way to give others a piece of their loved ones they can keep forever. I also guarantee my work. In the past year I have lost 12 people. Their memorials were free. How could I charge my loved ones?
I have now spread out from making just making memorial jars. I
have expanded to others such as sports, religion and children's. You can get them plain , with candles, tea light candles, or lights. I also make banks. I have had to make all of my grand kids banks and that is a lot of kids.
My jars alone are beautiful but being legally blind there are no two alike and each has its own touch. You choose how you want everything even though I do make premade items.
There are memorial ribbons, special occasion grave decorations which are guaranteed to withstand the weather, floral arrangements from your loved ones services, clean and renew grave markers, pictures on shelves that can also be hung up as pictures. I also do wooden letters any way or size, utensil jars, specialty jars and banks.
Coming soon I will be making candles that you pick out as well, scent and color. We are very reasonably priced and guaranteed.
