Honoring the Life of Gale Stephen

Hello everyone,

My name is Marcia Burgess, and I am reaching out today with a heavy heart after an unimaginable loss. Tragically, my beloved mother, Gale Stephen was struck down much too soon by a stray bullet in an incident that took place on May 27, 2023. As a shining light in the lives of all who knew her, her sudden absence has left us with profound sorrow.

For those who did not have the chance to know my mom, she was a woman of incredible strength, kindness, and love. She nurtured not only her family but everyone she met, and her passing is a loss felt deeply in our community. Her unending warmth and spirit touched many, and it is an honor to be her daughter.

Unfortunately, with her unexpected passing, we find ourselves unprepared to manage the substantial costs associated with giving her the dignified and respectful farewell that she truly deserves. As such, we are humbly asking for your support to help us cover these unforeseen expenses.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will go directly towards her funeral costs, including the ceremony, burial, and related expenses. We understand that times are difficult for many, so please know that no contribution is too small, and each donation is deeply appreciated. Even if you are unable to donate at this time, sharing this fundraiser with others would be a tremendous help.

Our hearts ache with grief, but in this time of sadness, we find comfort in the kindness and compassion of those around us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and condolences during this incredibly difficult time. We'll be forever grateful for your kindness.

With love,

Marcia Burgess
