It saddens our hearts beyond words to share that our mom, Cyndee, passed away on Monday, February 16, 2026. Our world changed in an instant, and our hearts are still learning how to breathe in a reality without her.

Our mom was our everything.

She was an incredible mother, daughter, sister, and best friend. She lived her life in service to others, always giving, always caring, always loving. Whether through volunteering with organizations like the Giving Back House and Homes for Hearts, or simply showing up for people in everyday moments, she was the kind of soul who made others feel seen, safe, valued, and loved.

She was born a caregiver. She helped raise her two younger sisters, loved fiercely, and carried a heart big enough for everyone she met. Kindness wasn’t something she practiced, it was who she was. She truly loved loving people, and that love is something we will carry with us forever.

Losing her has left an ache in our hearts and a silence in our family that words can’t describe. We are doing everything we can to navigate this loss while also stepping into new responsibilities far sooner than we ever imagined.

We are currently doing our best to manage funeral expenses on our own. The funds raised through this GoFundMe will help us give our mom the memorial she deserves, and help us care for our youngest sister, Cemree (16), as we move forward together as a family.

These funds will also help with immediate needs such as:

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• School supplies and education support

• Care for Cemree’s horse, which is an important part of her emotional healing

• Creating a stable and comfortable home environment

• Supporting Cemree’s dreams of one day going into law enforcement

Our family has already experienced the loss of our father and our brother, and now losing our mom has been a heartbreak beyond words. We are doing our best to stay strong … I am 23, Covin is 20, and Cemree is 16.

We are deeply grateful for any support, whether it’s a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing our story. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us honor our mom’s beautiful life and care for our family during this incredibly difficult time.
