Bethany Grace Gay is a funny, kind, and sweet young lady whose warmth touches everyone she meets. She loves to crochet, create arts and crafts, and spend time with her family. Bethany is the heart of our home, and her loving spirit has brought joy to her siblings, her identical twin, and everyone who knows her. Even in the face of serious illness, she continues to show love and faith, inspiring us all with her strength and grace.

Bethany is currently receiving in-home hospice care, and our family is doing everything we can to make her comfortable and surround her with love. As retired parents living on a fixed income, and with my husband recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s, we are facing significant financial challenges. We are Bethany’s main caregivers, and while we have been blessed with emotional, spiritual, and practical support from friends and family, the costs of planning for her funeral and honoring her wishes are overwhelming.

Bethany has always wanted her life to be celebrated with joy and love. She has asked for a Celebration of Life, reflecting her faith and the kindness she has shown to everyone around her. We hope to honor her memory by living as she did—loving the Lord and caring for others. Any support will help us give Bethany the beautiful farewell she deserves and ease the financial burden on our family during this difficult time.
