Hello, my name is Hannah Escobedo, thank you for clicking the link and learning more about this fundraiser. Those two lovely people in the cover photo are my grandparents Dorita and Don Duquette! My Papa, Don passed away this past Sunday, the 22nd of August at 2:01am at the age of 72 years old. I started this fundraiser to help his wife and my Granny, Dorita, pay for the memorial/ funeral arrangements and hopefully give her some ease through this process.
As we all know, it is not easy to adjust to the loss of a loved one, but we must not become so focused on what is gone, that we forget what is still here. If you have ever met my Papa you would know he instilled a sense of joy into every interaction, when I think back on our shared memories I recall hearty laughs, silly songs, and deep talks about life. My Papa over the last few weeks still had that sparkle in his eye and was filled with so much love for each and every single one of his family members.
If you can afford to send a charitable donation it would be greatly appreciated by my family. At the very least we ask for prayers and community in this time of acceptance as we adjust to his absence. Anything helps and we are grateful for even the time you have taken to read this message. Thank you and have a blessed day!
