As the Tee and Steere family continue to walk through the tremendous loss of such an incredible wife, mother, sister, friend, and so many other cherished roles, we have witnessed an overwhelming outpouring of love and support from our local community and from people across the country. We thank God for the ways He has provided through each and every one of you during such a heartbreaking time. While no donation or act of kindness could ever fill the space left in our hearts, we are deeply grateful for every gesture of generosity, prayer, and care.

I am establishing a fund for a memorial service to honor Carolyn’s beautiful life as well as to support her children in the times to come. For those who personally knew her, words could never fully capture who she was. She lived and loved with her whole heart. Carolyn found her greatest joy in being a wife to the absolute love of her life and soulmate, Edward, and a mother to her three precious children: Edward (9), Gemma (7), and baby Ethan, just four weeks old, as well as her bonus children, Graciella (16) and Genesis (18). She was a leader, a truth warrior, and a loyal friend to all who knew her. If there is one thing we are certain of, it is that she is now wrapped in the warmth and love of the Lord.

There will be many costs involved, and our hope is to ease the burden on the family as much as possible during this unimaginable time. We will forever miss Carolyn, yet we remain faithful in the hope that one day we will be reunited again. Thank you to those who have already donated, and thank you in advance to anyone who feels led to give. Your support means more than words can express.

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.”

— Philippians 4:19
