We need your support!!!

Jennifer and Jesse saw their baby's body for the last time on Monday, June 9th. It was a small, heartbreaking ceremony with the immediate family. Sweet Baby Ray is an angel in heaven. Oh how we will miss him!

We will have the memorial on June 20th at 2:00 p.m. After the service, there will be a family gathering at The Mason Homestead located at 1101 S. Baghdad in Leander.

The good news- This campaign has raised $3,125 so far! As we prepare to say our final goodbyes to Sweet Baby Ray, we are raising funds to help cover:

- Cremation services

- Memorial urns for family

- Memorial gathering on June 20th

Any amount, no matter how small, will help us through this difficult time. If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this post with others means just as much.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, your support, and your prayers. Please share this post.

"Sweet Baby Ray" is with our Heavenly Father.

On Saturday, May 30th, 2025 he was the victim of an accidental drowning in Austin, TX. Our hearts are heavy with grief, and our minds are full of confusion and oh so many questions. Our family is asking for your help to cover the parents' travel expenses and funeral expenses. On Tuesday, June 3, the parents will be traveling to Austin from their home in San Antonio to claim their baby's body from the medical examiner's office and make funeral arrangements. It is the most devastating thing a parent has to do. Your donation will help cover travel expenses and burial and funeral home fees so that they don't have to worry about money during this tragic time. We will let y'all know when and where the services will be held as soon as it is confirmed. Thank you for your prayers and messages of condolences. We find peace knowing that Sweet Baby Ray is with his Mamow in heaven. We appreciate your support as we navigate our way through this terrible tragedy.
