<div>Hello, My name is Marie Blake I am the mother of these handsome boys whose Live's were tragically taken in West haven, CT. Their loss has changed my life forever, and i carry their love and memory with me every single day. I am creating this go fund me in honor of my two sons Romaine &amp; Miguel Blake.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out during one of the most painful times our family has ever experienced. Losing sons, dads, uncles &amp; cousins is something we never imagined we would have to go through.
</div>
<div>They were loving parents, family members, and friends who touched the lives of so many people. Beyond the pain of losing them, our hearts ache for the children they have left behind. These children must now face life without the love, guidance, and support from a father figure a loss that no child should ever have to endure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My two beloved sons were tragically taken from us in a fatal shooting. Their lives were cut short far too soon, leaving our family heartbroken, shocked, and struggling to process this unimaginable loss. They were more than just family to us—they were loved, cherished, and deeply connected to everyone who knew them. Their absence has left a void that can never truly be filled.
</div>
<div>As we grieve, we are now faced with the difficult responsibility of bringing them home to Jamaica so they can be laid to rest surrounded by their family and the place they called home in their hearts. This is something our family desperately wants to do to honor their memory and give them a proper farewell.
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the financial burden of transporting their bodies internationally, covering funeral arrangements, and related expenses is overwhelming for our family during this already devastating time. We are humbly asking for any support—no matter how small—to help us make this possible.
</div>
<div>All funds raised will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>• International transportation to bring them back to Jamaica
</div>
<div>• Funeral and burial costs
</div>
<div>• Associated travel and administrative expenses
</div>
<div>We are grateful for any donation, prayers, or words of support. If you are unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this campaign would mean so much to us.
</div>
<div>Our family is deeply thankful for your kindness during this painful journey. We just want to bring them home and lay them to rest with dignity, surrounded by love.
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us honor their lives and memories.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>
<div>Blake Family
</div>
