An unimaginable tragedy has struck our family. On February 27, 2025, Heather Baldwin and her estranged husband, Spencer, both died under tragic circumstances. Heather (Luke and Shelly’s daughter, Jeff and Mary’s granddaughter) was smart and kind and a devoted and loving mother. She leaves behind three beautiful children, aged 8, 6, and 3, who will now be cared for by Luke and Shelly.

In this time of immeasurable grief, we are coming together to support Luke and Shelly as they navigate a world forever changed in an instant. We hope this fund will help ease some of the practical concerns they now face. All funds raised through this campaign will go directly to help with:

 Any funeral and memorial expenses not already covered

 Time away from work to help acclimate the children to their new home and get them settled in new schools

 Ongoing household needs and expenses

 Any needed counseling or grief support services

 Any additional expenses needed to care for and support the children as they adjust to their “new normal”

Luke and Shelly will need our community’s support in the weeks, months and even years ahead. We hope to show them that they are not alone on this difficult path. Every gesture of support is appreciated. Thank you for standing with our family during this heartbreaking time.
