Help Ease Elaine's Burden After Ted's Loss

Hi, my name is Laura Sussmann and I am fundraising for my mother, Elaine Simmons, to help cover funeral costs for the devastating and sudden loss of her husband, Ted Simmons.

On Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, Ted began experiencing abdominal pain and eventually collapsed at home. By the time Elaine and Ted got to the hospital, Ted’s abdominal aneurysm had ruptured, and he died on the way to the operating room at 10:25 pm.

Elaine is completely heartbroken and in shock. Please send any messages of reassurance and kindness her way. Ted had many friends and always knew someone wherever he went. He will be greatly missed!

As you can imagine, in addition to the emotional trauma Elaine is experiencing, this also brings a large financial expense. If you are able to help and donate a small amount to help us cover the costs for cremation, it would be so appreciated. We are planning on having a small celebration of life at a later date.
