<div>Dear friends and family,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with a heavy heart that we share the unexpected passing of my beloved brother (sister), Gary Dean Vanderford Jr., who was affectionately known as Nicole Denise. This weekend, we lost a vibrant soul who touched the lives of so many with his (her) kindness, creativity, and passion for the arts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we come to terms with this immense loss, we are faced with the difficult task of arranging a proper farewell. <strong>We are reaching out to our community for support to help cover funeral expenses and other costs during this challenging time.</strong> Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us honor Dean’s (Nicole’s) memory and ensure a dignified goodbye.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dean (Nicole) was not just a sibling; he (she) was a friend, a mentor, and a beacon of light in our lives. His (her) love for life and the arts will forever inspire us. Let’s come together to celebrate his (her) legacy and provide some comfort to our grieving family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and support during this heartbreaking time. Together, we can make a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Beth Vanderford
