We've known Mary for over 20 years and consider ourselves blessed to have had her in our lives for so long.  If you've met Mary, you love her, and you immediately fall in love with her son, Ollie.   Mary is always there for her friends, always there to cheer you up, and make you laugh or smile. 

She's touched so many lives in a postive way, but she is now having  to deal with the loss of her son's dad, Rick.  We are so sad to share the news that Rick died very recently and unexpectedly. We share Mary's words, as they express it best, " I will miss this man for the rest of my life.  He was my friend, my lover, and the father of our beautiful boy. My heart breaks for him and all the lives he touched that are now saddened." 

We'd like to help remember Rick. We'd especially like to help Mary and Ollie right now by establishing a fund they could use to pay for Ollie's preschool and childcare over this next year, when they will really need it the most. If you can help, in any amount, we would be so grateful. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 with an inspirational goal to raise closer to $25,000 to cover the expenses.

Thanks for caring and taking the time to share this to others who might want to help.
