NOTE -
Her children couldn't afford a funeral so attempted a crowd source funding.
Here's what that notice said:


Holly Ann Lake was a beautiful, loving, free-spirit with 5 amazing
children. On Sunday, October 2nd, Holly left us to be with the angels. She
will be missed dearly by her 5 children, her mother, and her loving siblings
and family. She was 54.  The Lake kids want to have something very special
to remember her by; a beautiful memorial for all of her family to come and
remember her.  Unfortunately, As our loving father has needed our financial
help, the Lake kids may not be able to have a memorial for her unless we
can raise some extra funds for the service.  We are hoping we will be able
to hold a beautiful service for our mom in Oregon.

Thank you very much for listening to her story, and God's love to you.
