Celebration of Life - Chris Grimsley

My name is Kate Gibbons, and I live in Gettysburg, PA.
My dear cousin, Kim Grimsley, woke up yesterday to every parent's worst nightmare, the death of her son, Chris Grimsley, at the far too young age of 34.  This post by one of Chris's cousins is just one of dozens of tributes being posted by family and friends attesting to what a wondeful young man he was:
"The world lost one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known today. My cousin Chris was the ringleader of our cousins growing up, the ultimate Baltimore sports fan, and had a hilarious sense of humor. No one could crack you up over text message like Chris. He will be deeply missed by all of us."
Kim and Chris were extremely close and this is a devastating loss for her and her family.  
A natural reaction when we hear of the death of a loved one is to reach out to the family with “please let me know if there is anything I can do.”  However this puts the burden of action on those who are already too overwhelmed and devastated by grief to cope with even the most mundane of daily tasks, let alone everything that is involved with making final arrangements, especially when it is every parent’s worst nightmare, having to bear the loss of a child, no matter what their age.
After hearing of his passing,  I kept trying to figure out what I could do to help , Because of COVID-19; I can’t even offer the simplest comfort of a visit and a hug.
The conclusion I came to is that if I can't provide emotional relief,  I can try to  relieve some of the exorbitant financial burden.
All donations will be transferred to Kim to help with the medical bills, funeral costs, lost  wages and any other expenses that she incurs as a result of Chris's passing.
Like her son, Kim has a huge, kind heart and will do anything for anyone without being asked, or asking anything in return.  I hope that you will consider showing her how karma works, by donating to help her and her family as they work through this painful time. 
Thank you in advance fo your help.
