Our beautiful Ashley Hestand, my son Scott's wife, passed from this world on Sunday, January 22. Her life and legacy are reflected in her four incredible children, her husband, and the lives of all her family and friends. She battled hard to overcome her illness and was getting ready for a life-saving transplant this month, but she experienced a life-ending infection before this was possible.

We are totally devastated by Ashley's passing and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Ashley the memorial she deserves, to honor her memory and say our last goodbyes.

Some of you have reached out and asked how you can help us during this time. Know that your kindness is much appreciated as we navigate this heartbreaking moment. We kindly ask, if you are able to, to donate funds towards the funeral service, as we hope to carry out all of Ashley's final wishes.
