Medical-Funeral costs for Thomas and Lisa Umholtz

Today, October 14, we will say our final goodbyes to this wonderful, crazy, loving, caring, courageous man. He fought a good fight, but cancer is a bitch with no remorse. I still don't understand how this could happen to such a great person. Ride on with no abandon Thomas Henry Umholtz. You will be so missed.

Tom lost his fight for life on October 8. I am so sad this world will have to continue without the sound of his giggle and the twinkle in his eyes. I don’t know how to comfort Lisa. If I could take this pain from her and put it on my shoulders, I would do so in a heartbeat. You will be missed, Tommy - Love Heather

Hi friends and family, Trisha Cody and Heather Worner are asking for your help.

As many of you know, our wonderful bonus brother has been diagnosed with liver cancer. This horrible disease has no cure and has now also caused Cirrhosis of the liver and fluid build-up in his abdomen (Ascites), which must be drained (liters at a time) every couple of weeks. He had a Y-90 chemotherapy treatment, which helped for a little while. But unfortunately, there was a hidden tumor that did not receive treatment and is now growing. He has had one immunotherapy treatment but has been unable to have any further treatments due to his platelet count being too low and his bilirubin too high.

Lisa and Tom are doing everything within their power to fight this. As long as he has a growing tumor, he is not eligible for a transplant, which is the only “cure” available.

Tom is probably one of the most loving, generous people you could ever meet. He helps anyone in any way he can without question or wanting anything in return.

He is still working through all of this (because disability pay sucks) and is worn out and exhausted. Lisa has MS, so she often struggles with day-to-day living without the added stress.

Please help them in any way possible.
