As many of you know, our dear friend Virginia passed away at just 44 years old after a courageous two-year battle with cancer. Our hearts are broken for Dan and the boys, Bennett and Ellis, as they grieve the loss of Virginia as a wife and mom. Virginia was an incredible model of faith in Christ through suffering, a loyal friend, and someone who loved Dan and the boys deeply. Her loss is unimaginable, and these days are filled with sorrow, change, and the difficult task of moving forward.

We are asking for two things.

1. Please pray for comfort and peace for all who miss Virginia. Her suffering is over, and her comfort is now with her Lord. Her church family prays that this truth brings some measure of peace in the middle of such deep pain.
2. If you are able, please consider supporting this fundraiser for Dan and the boys during these difficult days. The funds will help with funeral and medical expenses, everyday needs, and give Dan the ability to take the time needed to be fully present with Bennett and Ellis. It will help ease some of the financial pressure so Dan can focus on caring for the boys and grieving this heartbreaking loss.

More than anything, this fundraiser is a way to remind Dan, Bennett, and Ellis that they are loved, supported, and surrounded by a caring community that will walk with them in the days ahead. Thank you for your prayers, your support, and for helping carry this family through such a devastating loss.
