On Sunday October 18, 2026, my sister-in-law, Nicole Heiser, was betrayed, shot, and killed by her boyfriend of 11 years. He proceeded to take the lives of his son and his parents, before taking his own. My wife and mother-in-law are in pieces, trying to make sense of everything.

Nicole was a caring, beautiful soul who cared deeply for her family. One would be hard-pressed to find another person more loyal than Nicole. She had an unparalleled love for animals and dedicated her life to caring for them as a veterinary technician.

I am asking for your consideration in helping to fund a proper service and burial for Nicole - no contribution would be too small.
