Our beloved mother, Brigitte Heidi Schneiderbauer (“Heidi”), went home to be with Jesus on May 7, 2026, surrounded by her children after a courageous battle with Stage IV cancer. Our mom was the heart of our family in every possible way. She loved fiercely, gave endlessly, and spent her life caring for others before herself. Beyond the emotional loss we are navigating, her passing has also created an immediate financial hardship for our family. My mother and brothers relied together on shared household income to stay afloat. Our mom consistently carried essential household expenses, including car payments, groceries, internet, phone bills, and many of the everyday needs that kept the household functioning. Like so many families, they worked together to support one another through difficult times.

As our family grieves this unimaginable loss, we are asking for support to help relieve the financial burden now facing my brothers during this transition. Donations will help cover essential living expenses, transportation, bills, and immediate stability as they work to rebuild after losing not only their mother, but also a major source of emotional and financial support. If you knew our mom, you knew her heart. She would give to anyone in need without hesitation. She created warmth, laughter, comfort, and love everywhere she went, and she made people feel like family.

Whether through a donation, prayer, or simply sharing this page, our family is deeply grateful for every act of kindness and support during this difficult time. Thank you for helping us honor her legacy of love.
