UPDATE 5.18.24 for those not on Jenni's Caring Bridge site: Here is the obituary that appeared in today's print edition of The Herald. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/heraldnet/name/jenni-lamarca-obituary?id=55136464

_______________________________________________________

I’m one of Ronald’s (Ron to most of you) aunts. Jenni would like to keep this a secret from him and the boys for as long as possible.

True to her big heart and her fierce, endless, unconditional love for her family, Jenni put them first despite her weakening condition and asked me to start a “Go Fun” GoFundMe, a reserve for Ronald, Connor and Owen to tap into when they need to set things aside and just “go and have fun.” The fun funds will be used at their discretion: individually, collectively, in ways small or big.

Know that the goal is totally random.

There is no expectation to participate; Jenni emphatically does not want you to feel obligated or uncomfortable. The main thing is she wants her three boys to continue feeling her love, and that can be demonstrated in a variety of ways over time, including connection in any form. Take Ronald out for a night, attend one of Connor's school plays or 5k races, cheer for Owen at any number of his sporting events.

As for Go Fun, give financially if you’re able or give by sharing — Jenni said through your social platforms is fine after the inevitable time passes, and even then please limit the audience so Ronald won’t immediately see it. No doubt he will find out soon enough, but she’d love for it to be a big surprise when he does. Know that this is going to those on her CaringBridge site, so it may already capture those closest to the family.

Thank you. Jenni sends her love and appreciation.
