Greetings friends,

My family has suffered a tremendous loss.

I haven't really advertised this but my mother has had dementia for 12 and 1/2 years. Signs started in 2013 and it's been a very rough road for my family and I.

Dealing with lawyers, state and county officials regarding healthcare, placement in memory Care facilities... All of this has put significant emotional and fiscal strain on my mother's partner of 50 years.

Barbara would never admit this publicly so I'm doing it for her because I know of the generosity on these kinds of platforms. People who might have been really close with us in the past but life has taken in different directions, might feel compelled to help out a little bit.

I know times are tight right now for a lot of people. So any little bit that you can spare would be of great help to offset some costs and help Barb out. Please consider donating.

But if you can't, send me your favorite memories of my mother, Linda Hayhurst, and I will share them with Barb. Gofundme has provided a way to contact me. But I imagine most of you have my personal information.

Thank you for your love and generosity in advance. We really appreciate you.

With all the love,

Chris Hayhurst.
