It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share that Summer passed away June 16th after a long, ongoing fight with her mental health. She leaves behind four precious children, six siblings, her parents, and an amazing extended chosen family.

Losing Summer so unexpectedly is unimaginable and our family will never be the same without her. She was generous, kind and funny with a fiery spirit. Her smile and laugh were so contagious she could light up a room.

We are touched by how many people have reached out to ask how they can support with unforeseen expenses and needs. We are setting this up to make it just a little easier to navigate final arrangements and will announce a Celebration of Summer's Life as soon as we can. Any support of kind words and memories are welcomed as well. Summer loved and was loved by so many people, our thoughts are with all of you as well.

We would so appreciate if you could share this fund raiser with the hope that Summer's story is met with compassion, understanding and conversation. If this reaches someone who may be feeling like there is no hope, there is. Please reach out to someone. You are loved. If you are experiencing difficult thoughts call 988.
