My best friend Rheanna, her mother Julie and her sister Destiny recently lost Sam due to a combination of underlying medical conditions.
Her family has struggled tremendously with loss this year and last and was not prepared for the cost of the funeral/cremation process.
I know this isn't the time to be asking for money, and I can promise you Julie and her girls are strong and proud enough women they wouldn't want to be asking.
Donate what you can, if you can.
Here's a little bit about Rheanna's step-father:
We lost a truly wonderful man, Sam McManus, February 3rd. Sam was Julie’s husband and bestfriend as well as an amazing second Father to Destiny and Rheanna. Sam cherished the time he spent with friends and family. He owned his own construction company for many years that he was very proud of and it showed in his work and the trust he built with the homeowners. One of the fondest memories with Sam were his horse shoe nights with all of his friends. They were full of laughter, a lot of jokes and most importantly memories that will last a lifetime. He meant so much to so many.
Many of you have reached out throughout the past year in regard to his surgeries and many stays at the hospital and continue to send your love & condolences. Your kind words, photos, and memories you've shared on Facebook continue to brighten the sad moments. However, with this unexpected and sudden loss, it has left the family devastated & overwhelmed. We hope that this collection will ease the financial stress during this time, and allow them to focus on grieving and loving on each other.
It's because of Sam’s kindness, love and dedication to his friends and family, that he has left behind an amazing support system for Julie and the girls. We cannot thank him and everyone else enough for that.
