On August 13, 2025, my world was shattered when my only child, Stephen, was tragically and violently taken from me. He was just 28 years old, full of life, and deeply loved. No parent should ever have to endure the pain of burying their child, and the grief I feel is beyond words.

I am reaching out during this unimaginable time for your prayers, love, and support. In addition to the overwhelming emotional loss, I am faced with the unexpected financial burden of funeral expenses. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help me honor Stephen’s life and give him the farewell he deserves.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, compassion, and prayers during this time of sorrow.

February 25, 1997 – August 13, 2025
