Aubrey O'Neill

It is with a broken heart that I write this post. On Friday, June 14th, Father’s Day weekend, my brother Bryan, his wife Stacy and their son Brennan lost their six-year old baby girl, Aubrey, in a tragic accident. Aubrey was a fearless “spitfire” that immediately melted your heart with her stunning blue eyes and infectious smile. She loved and adored her big brother Brennan, flowers and dogs, especially her little Brittney. The bond Bryan and Aubrey shared was magical and defined the essence of a father and daughter’s love for one another.  The financial burdens Bryan, Stacy and Brennan face are tremendous and are a cruel addition to the emotional burdens they will need to navigate to begin a process of healing from the unthinkable loss of losing a child.

Moving beyond the tears and trauma, Bryan and Stacy chose to honor Aubrey’s kindness by gifting strangers through the donation of her corneas and heart valves.

It is with a humble heart and gratitude for a loving community of family and friends that I ask for your help to help to ease the financial burden on Bryan and Stacy.  Their focus should be on one another, Brennan and keeping the memory of Aubrey in their hearts.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to help defray the enormous medical and funeral costs. May God Bless Bryan, Stacy and Brennan as well as comfort them with the love of family and friends.
