My dear friend Vanessa recently lost her husband Mac after he suffered a heart attack and several surgeries. He fought as hard as he could to stay with her but it was not meant to be. Mac and Vanessa dated for 8 years and enjoyed the gifts of marriage for two short years. He was her rock, her biggest supporter, and her world.

 

After losing her mother 12 years ago, Vanessa was adrift amidst the grief of losing her biggest supporter. All of the changed when she reconnected with a "cute boy" and the sun re-appeared from behind the clouds. They knew each other in high school but it had been a long time since they'd seen each other. Their connection and love blossomed and they were soon inseparable. Mac saw her through ups and downs, transformations large and small, and was a steady anchor through every life adventure.

 

Having relocated to Texas not too long ago, Vanessa needs financial help with the funeral costs to give Mac a final farewell from this earthly life.

 

If you know Vanessa, you know that her heart is bigger than the state of Texas and she spreads that love to all who meet her. She is generous with time, food, and emotional support. Now it is our turn to support her. Let's come together and lift up Vanessa as she finds her way into this next unexpected chapter of her life.

 

Every little bit helps, thank you.
