Help his young widow: Joe Brook's Funeral Expenses

Donation protected

This is Aunt Cathy.  I can't tell Erica's story like she can.  Right now she is grieving and caring for her 3 small children (ages 2,4,6) and a 15 year old.    She is in the middle of hell on earth, making funeral arrangements for her soul mate, trying to make sense of this tragedy, functioning from moment to moment trying to decide how to survive without the love of her life.  Her Facebook posts reveals something though.  It shows her deep devotion and love for this man.  He was the "ONE", you know.  Now, he is gone.

She writes,
"There will never be a day that we don’t speak of how wonderful and amazing you are. The few short years we were blessed with your presence. The blessings you have left, I promise to do the best that I can. As you would want me too!!!
There is going to be many challenges along the way.
I love you with everything in me & always have and will. You left us so early babe . In my mind we were going to get old together and watch our babies grow. Thank you for always being there .. 100 percent devotion to our needs and wants .
You made this life worth everything possible.
You have giving me the best gifts.
I love you Joe Lee Brooks .
It was the best 12 years of my life ........."

Here's what happened in her words:
"For those of you that don’t know . I’ll tell you before it hits the news tomorrow. Preston & Joe had a car go over in their lane and hit them head on. Preston is O.K. Joe did not make it ... as you all know He is and always will be my world. He has been my go to for almost 13 years. He is my rock! Tyler & I spoke about daddy tonight . Joseph doesn’t know yet. This is going to be the hardest things I ever have to go through. Just pray for me please . "

God, I'm not okay.
I'm not myself. I'm 
drained.  Please calm
my mind, heal my
heart and take my
worries away.
