Honor Ian Rose: Memorial Fund for His Family

Lucia Stegemeyer is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Margaret Rose.

Donation protected

My older sister, Margaret (Bunni) Huber Rose, unexpectedly lost her son, Ian Rose, 43. Ian had 4 minor children and was unmarried, so memorial services and burial costs fall on my sister as his next of kin.

Ian loved cooking, so he became a chef and loved his work. He loved his kids and wanted only the best for them. Unfortunately, Ian had no life insurance or prearrangements made.

My sister was a nurse, working hard her entire life to raise her family until she retired.

Bunni has always loved kids, especially her own and her grandchildren. Now she is faced with doing the last thing she ever expected... burying her son. Kids are supposed to outlive their parents!!

While wanting to honor her son with a memorial service, she is also worried about Ian's children. Obviously, this has been so hard on the kids, and she wants to provide her grandchildren with a memorial service for their Dad to help them with their grieving.

Please consider helping her reach her goal in laying Ian to a proper, peaceful rest. Anything you can do is greatly appreciated and if you can't donate, would you please share.

Thank you.

UPDATE: Bunni made the "no frills" arrangements for Ian yesterday...the prices are outrageous!!! $2500.00 for the casket alone that you have to have for cremation.

Remember that even if you can't donate...you can still help by sharing ❤️

UPDATE: We thank you all so much for the donations and for sharing the go fund me to reach even more people. Others might have been in a similar situation with the unexpected loss of a loved one and they can relate.

I wanted to share another picture...when Ian was real little he told his Mom that Christmas was his favorite holiday. Talking about the activities surrounding the holiday...Ian asked when they were going to color the eggs. So for the rest of his life our family had Christmas Eggs. That is the kind Of Mom my sister is, even though it hadn't been a custom for our family....or anyone else's....because of Ian it became one!
