As you are aware, Emmet Edward Ray Deschene, passed away unexpectedly on Friday evening. The Deschene family is devastated by the loss of their exceptional son and brother. Emmet was loved by so many for his warm smile, sense of humor, compassionate heart,  and creative talents. Emmet was only 18 and in the prime of his life. A family never anticipates the loss of a beloved child and that they may need to one day pay for the costs of a funeral.  Moreover, they are too dignified to ask and are often the ones giving, not receiving, as we all know. As friends, we feel that no one should have to navigate through channels to determine what minimum amount might be covered as you try to make arrangements for a child. In lieu of flowers, we gently  ask that you consider helping the family with funeral expenses. It is with intense sadness and heartbreak for this dear family that we extend this gift of love to them.
