Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of the sudden loss of Laurie, who tragically passed away at the age of 44. Her husband, Chip, is left to navigate this unimaginable grief, now caring for their children.

As Chip tries to cope with this loss, we want to offer him the support and strength to help him through this challenging time. The financial burden of caring for funeral expenses and the costs that come with such a tragedy are overwhelming. We are asking for your help to alleviate some of this pressure, so he can focus on healing with his family.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference in helping Chip navigate this difficult journey. Your support will provide him with the resources to grieve, care for his family, and begin to rebuild a life after such a heartbreaking loss.

Please keep Chip, Laurie, and their family in your thoughts and prayers. We are deeply grateful for any contributions, and we thank you for your kindness during this time of sorrow.

With love and appreciation,

R.W. LaPine
