It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved mother and wife.

After a sudden and devastating medical event, our family lost an incredible woman who stood beside her husband through more than 20 years of service to our country, including multiple deployments. Through every challenge and long separation, she was there—supporting him, raising their family, and holding everything together.

Now, her husband—our father—is facing an overwhelming reality.

Despite his decades of service and the sacrifices both he and his wife made, he is now responsible for significant out-of-pocket expenses related to her passing.

These include:

• Emergency international travel costs

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• Ongoing arrangements and administrative costs

• Unexpected living and transition expenses during this incredibly difficult time

Unfortunately, neither the military nor his current employer are covering these expenses, leaving him to carry this burden alone while grieving the loss of his life partner.

We are asking for support to help ease this financial strain so he can focus on mourning, healing, and being with family.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping him manage these costs and navigate the difficult days ahead.

Thank you for your support during this time.
