For the Christmas season this year, Merry got to see her family up here in Oregon and Washington, as well as getting to celebrate her birthday with us. After returning home, she had passed away unexpectedly in her apartment back in CA. We are currently planning her funeral and the expenses, which can be a lot. We are asking family and friends to help contribute to the cost if they please. Most of all, prayers for her family are much appreciated. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the costs of doing things related to her passing.
