Heaven gained an angel this past Thursday evening when Kelsey LaVigne passed away suddenly from an illness at only 29 years old.  Kelsey was a beloved wife, daughter, granddaughter, niece, friend, sister-in-law, mother, and so much more.   She loved her kids with all her heart and her family was her entire world.   We are devestated and our hearts are  broken and  continue to break for her husband Nehemiah "Ben" (my nephew),  daughter Kadi (12) , son Noah (5), and son Kody (3).   

A long, difficult road follows and we are hoping to raise money to take care of any memorial expenses not covered by the military,  travel expenses (she will be laid to rest in her hometown of Indiana far from where they were stationed),  and any needs of a single father now raising their three beautiful children on his own.   

During this time of tradgedy, the last thing we want is to add a monetary burden to this family's  already  extremely full plate.  We are hoping to raise enough money for her family to be able to do what is necessary for the well-being of their children.

The family appreciates all of your support, love and prayers.  Please keep them coming!
