We are a group of lifelong childhood friends coming together to raise funds for the Tantillo family as they grieve the loss of their beautiful daughter, Lily.

The Tantillo family shared a bond that went beyond words. Lily was deeply connected to her mama Kirsten, dad JJ, and her brother Will through daily phone calls, sweet messages, and unconditional love. Their lives were intertwined, and facing every trial and triumph together made losing her feel like losing a part of their foundation. This sense of loss is shared by all of us. Lily was not just a sister, best friend, daughter, granddaughter, and cousin; she was a shining bright ball of sunshine who cared deeply for those around her.

With a brilliant mind and many dreams for her future, Lily had just graduated from Northern Arizona University with a degree in exercise science. She intended to become a personal trainer and obtain her Masters in Dietetics. She also adored her sweet kitty, JiJi, and had a special affection for all animals.

Her unexpected passing has left a profound void in our hearts and lives that words cannot fully express. Her laughter, compassion, and love made a lasting impact on everyone she met.

This fundraiser has been created to help cover the costs of Lily’s burial and care services. Any funds raised beyond these expenses will be given to the family to assist with their move back to California.
