Last night, our family experienced a heartbreaking loss as the Lord called Brooke Braden home at just 37 years old.
Aunt Brooke is the example of an overcomer. With time and grace, she made her life story into one of strength, resilience, and deep personal growth. If you know anything about Brooke, you know that she was known and loved by so many people for her vibrant personality, loud contagious laugh and unmatched sense of humor. She was truly one of a kind.
In her memory, I want to encourage everyone to hold your people close~hug them a little longer, and always show up for one another. Family is our greatest gift, and there is nothing more important than being there for those we love.
In times like this, it’s easy to feel helpless. It’s deflating to see even the strongest people I know, not have the answers.
But one thing we can do is help ease the burden for those grieving. My family deserves the space to mourn without the added weight of funeral expenses for their daughter. If you feel moved to help, we’ve set up a GoFundMe to support Brooke’s final arrangements. Every share, donation, or kind word means more than you know. Thank you.
All proceeds go directly to our family for the final expenses.
