Our hearts are broken. Our kids, Tristin and R'Myni, have lost their sweet baby boy, Tristin Jr.

The emotional weight of this loss is overwhelming, and the financial burden of funeral expenses only adds to their stress.

If you feel led to give, any amount will help. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this post would mean so much.

And if you would like to give in another way, you can contact us. Every penny goes to our kids.

We are coming together to help ease the burden of expenses and allow them time away from work to process this loss. We would like for them to focus on grieving and healing without worrying about immediate costs.

Love, the Hall and Smith Family

Something from R'Myni and Tristin:

I want to come on here and say thank you for all the prayers and texts that me and Tristin have both received. As most of you have seen, we lost our precious baby boy. We came into the hospital the morning of the 26th thinking I was having contractions. In reality, it was my placenta ripping off of the walls in my uterus, which led to our baby's oxygen being cut off inside of my body, leading to an emergency C-section. I lost more than 10 units of blood and hemorrhaged on the table, unconscious. When I woke up, I was told our boy was gone. The baby I had zero complications with, the baby I felt kick me for many months, the baby we were so ready to raise and bring into this world was gone before I could hear a cry, before I could hold him, before I could process what I physically just went through. He was taken from us. Heaven gained the most beautiful baby boy, and he truly is perfect. Holding his cold, lifeless body and typing this will forever haunt me, but knowing he is in a far better place than this cruel world will forever bring a peace I'll be fighting for until I meet our boy again. I also say repetitively, Tristin is also grieving. We both lost our baby, and we both will never be the same. We both have to endure this tragedy. Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts to help us through this unimaginable period.
