It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Patricia Byrum, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She meant so much to everyone who knew her, and her loss has left a deep hole in our family.
We are raising funds to help her husband, Les, cover final expenses and navigate this incredibly difficult transition. Along with the emotional weight of losing his wife, he is now adjusting to life on a very limited income from his social security checks and his daughter's part-time job, while continuing to care for his family.
Les is the primary support for his adult daughter and teenage granddaughter, who live with him and depend on his care and stability. And while his adult daughter does have a part-time job, her ability to contribute to the household expenses is very limited. This sudden loss has created unexpected financial strain at a time when the family should be focused on grieving and healing.
Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the burden of funeral and memorial costs and provide much-needed support as Les works to rebuild financial stability for himself and those who rely on him.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers. We are deeply grateful for every kind word, gesture, and act of support during this time.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
