With heavy hearts, we share the unimaginable loss of Emily Faith Van Ingen, who has left this world far too soon and is now reunited with her beloved brother, Tyler. Emily was beautiful inside and out. She lived boldly and freely, embracing life with her whole heart. She loved deeply, laughed loudly, and brought warmth and energy into every room she entered. On the morning of April 4th, Emily was found unresponsive in her room. There are still many unknowns, and we ask for patience, compassion, and respect as the family navigates this devastating loss.

The past year has brought more heartbreak than any family should ever have to endure. Dawn has now suffered the unimaginable loss of both of her children, Tyler and Emily. There are no words for this kind of grief — no parent should ever have to carry this pain. Right now, she needs to be surrounded by love, strength, and unwavering support. We have created this GoFundMe to help lift even a small part of the burden during this incredibly difficult time — to assist with funeral expenses and to give Dawn the space and time she needs to grieve without added worry.

If you are able to give, no amount is too small and every gesture means more than words can express. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this and keeping Dawn and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Please hold your loved ones a little closer tonight. Life is so fragile, and tomorrow is never promised. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your love, kindness, and support.
