On Friday, September 19th, our family faced the unimaginable. My sister Victoria (Tori) Goss and her son Dean Anderson were involved in a head-on collision. Despite the efforts of first responders, we tragically lost Tori, our family’s brightest light. Her son Dean miraculously survived and is recovering, showing so much strength as he heals.

Tori was so much more than a sister, a mother, a daughter, and a friend. She was the kind of person who lit up every room she walked into, and while that is a cliché, it was just simply true. She loved fiercely, laughed loudly, and lived vibrantly. Above all, she was devoted to her son, her pride and joy, and she poured every ounce of herself into being his biggest supporter, as well as a source of encouragement to so many others she met.

Dean has already shown incredible resilience in his recovery, even proudly telling us he is striving to get better ‘for Mommy.’ While we work to honor Tori’s memory, we also want to support Dean’s dad as he steps into the unimaginable role of raising their son without her. Donations will go toward funeral expenses, household stability, and ensuring Dean continues to be surrounded with love and care.

We are so grateful for any support, whether it’s through a donation, sharing this page, or simply holding our family in your thoughts and prayers during this painful time.

Also, always remember to live like Tori, because life is truly golden.
