On Monday, October 15th, Lauren unexpectedly lost the love of her life, and the father of their four year old daughter, Zoë. Anyone that spent time with James knew that he loved Lauren and Zoë more than anything else and wanted nothing more than to be with and provide for them. 

James was a bright spot in a dark world and knowing him changed us all for the better; he brought joy to our hearts and laughter to our bellies.  We are devastated by the loss of James. Thirty is too young for anyone to have to go, but we are sure he is in the Kingdom of Heaven throwing down thunder. We know that our lives will never be the same. 

Lauren is doing her best to provide a safe, loving and stable environment for Zoë, and remain in school while struggling to cope with this devastating loss.

Many of you have reached out and asked, “what can we do?” The greatest gift that Lauren and Zoë can receive besides your love, support, and prayers would be to help her get through this difficult time financially and to help make James’ wish of providing for Zoë’s education - come true. 

Our hearts desire is to relieve some of the pressure on Lauren by coming together to support her and James’s legacy, Zoë, in any way you can.

Any amount is greatly appreciated; if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. If you are unable to help in this way, please do so by sharing this post. 

You have our heartfelt gratitude.
