On Monday, March 24th, my very dear friend Shauna Barnum Ray lost her husband, Mark Alan Ray, soul mate and best friend, when he died suddenly while visiting family in another state. It was so sudden that she is not ready to talk about it yet ( not a suicide). They were madly in love and a wonderful and loving coulple. I felt there was a need to help, and I knew people who know Shauna would want to help also.
She was a guiding light for me back in the days of surgeries and medications and never wavered or judged like some. I am here for her and for Mark in hopes we can get his remains home.
For her to take his ashes and death certificate with her back to Florida, where they resided, she would have to pay $3,000.00. She cannot afford to pay this right now and is embarrassed to ask for help, so I insisted.
I am hoping after reading the many beautiful messages of love and support that you will find it in your heart to help her.
A message of sadness tonight from Shauna ….
“I wasn’t even able to consider getting his body home. To cross state lines, he’d have to be embalmed and the trip starts at $20,000.00.”
Thank you in advance for your love and support.
