Arthur Van Dette, for Raymond and Skylar

My nephew, Arthur Van Dette, passed away suddenly August 12, 2022. He will be SO missed! These two cuties are his children, Raymond, or RJ, and Skylar. RayJay, as I call him, is 2 1/2 years old, and Skylar is 9 months.

Those who knew Arthur knew how hard-working and conscientious he was. He was friendly and content, brightened the spaces he was in and was fun to be around. He loved his two littles - spending time with them, playing, eating, cleaning - whatever they needed.

RayJay and Skylar, along with their mom Allie, are living with Arthur's parents, Carol and Gene Van Dette, also known as Grandma and Grandpa. These two children are wonderfully delightful, a joy to have in any room. They are curious, creative, giggle when tickled, happy, and RayJay only runs, never walks, while Skylar is beginning to get everywhere by rolling, soon crawling.

Allie, Raymond and Skylar, and Grandma and Grandpa all need our support, whatever their living situation looks like in the future. I'm a little far away to keep up with the dishes and diapers, but I wish I could be there!

Arthur left us way too soon. He had much still to accomplish, and will be missed by those he knew. He won't be there to buy the first child's bed, to help with potty training, push the new swing, or meet the new teachers. We want to fill in some of the gaps, and ensure the kids have the necessary things. Would you consider donating to help meet their future needs in the best way possible? The family will be sincerely grateful.

We thank you very much,
