We thought we had more time... :'(
Those of you who knew Chris knew that he was struggling with a terribly rare terminal lung disease, he was diagnosed with it about 15 years ago but the last 5 years have severely took its toll. Imagine not being able to breathe, drive a car, leave the house, etc... On top of having bad lung/heart function, needing oxygen 24/7, his anxiety/depression also got to be a serious issue.
On his "fixed" income from being declared "disabled" & unable to work, medical bills got to be overwhelming & unfortunately, got pushed to the side. (Unpaid)
On Tuesday morning, I had to call 911 & rush help to Chris's doorstep... what I thought would have been a few night stay in ICU turned into our worst nightmare!!
As I stood next to him in the ER as I watched 15+ hospital staff memebers do everything to save his life, his body was just to exhausted & fragile to go on. I held him, talked to him & told him that his fight & suffering was over.. I told him that I would take good care of our kids & it was time for him to move on. Shortly after that, the doctor grabbed my arm & told he Chris's heart stopped for the 3rd & final time. :'(
It's so easy to say that "he's in a better place" or "his suffering is finally over" & as much as I agree, I have 3 children left to grow up without a dad.
Chris did not have life insurance, so the financial burden falls into me...
I was told by many friends/family members that I should create this Go Fund Me account in his honor.
I will be planning his memorial/celebration of life most likely scheduled for after the holidays.
All donations will go towards the cost of the cremation/service/flowers/photos etc...
Any donation is welcome, no amount too small!
I appreciate all of the support that my family has received thus far, Chris was loved by so many & I want to be able to give him the wonderful memorial that he deserves !
Thank you in advance ♡♡♡♡
