Hi everyone,

Our family is going through one of the hardest moments of our lives. We recently lost our mom, and the weight of this loss has been overwhelming for all of us— myself, but especially my dad Gerald, and my younger brother, Dalton.

My mom was the heart of our family. She was someone who loved deeply, gave endlessly, and held us together through everything. Losing her has left a space that can never be filled. She had the kind of laugh that filled a room and a heart that made everyone feel safe.

Right now, our focus is on supporting each other and getting through each day. But alongside the emotional pain, we’re also facing unexpected financial stress while we await this process. We want to ease some of that burden for my dad as he navigates this loss, and make sure my brother has the support and financial stability he needs during such a difficult time.

She was hospitalized for about a month on March 27th, suspected heart attack brought her in, then due to bowel complications she had to get surgery for Illeostomy.. she was intubated for 4 days, then for two weeks she was still in critical condition with low BP. after a few days it became more critical and she had internal bleeds. Not long after a 3rd surgery to fix the bleed, unfortunately too many complications arose internally affecting her kidneys and other organs, she left this earth on April 29th.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help with:

* Some funeral and memorial expenses

* Household costs while our family adjusts

* Supporting my dad during this transition

* Making sure my brother has what he needs moving forward

If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it truly means more than we can express. And if you can’t, sharing this helps just as much.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and love during this incredibly difficult time.

With love,

Courtney & family
