<div>On October 7th, 2025, our family experienced a loss we never could have prepared for. Our beloved grandmother passed away due to unforeseeable events, leaving a space in our lives that can never be filled. She was the heart of our familygentle, giving, and endlessly devoted to her children and grandchildren. Her love held us together.

<div>Just one month later on the exact same day we were faced with another unimaginable heartbreak. Our grandfather passed away as well. He was strong, steady, and full of warmth, the kind of man who made every person in the family feel seen and supported. Losing them both so close together has shaken us deeply.

<div>They were partners in every sense family oriented, caring, and selfless. They raised their children with love, welcomed their grandchildren with joy, and created a foundation of kindness and togetherness that will stay with us forever.

<div>As we navigate this painful time, our family is working through the emotional and financial hardship of suddenly losing two pillars of our lives. We are setting up this GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses, memorial arrangements, and to support the family as we try to rebuild after this overwhelming tragedy.

<div>Any contribution large or small means the world to us. Even sharing this page helps. We are grateful for every gesture of support as we honor two incredible people whose love will remain with us always.

<div><strong>Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.</strong>
