Chuck, Kelly and Cristina were on a family vacation in the Dominican Republic to celebrate Chuck and Kelly's 25th wedding anniversary when the most heartbreaking and unthinkable happened.  Kelly suffered a fatal medical emergency and passed away on May 2nd at the resort.  Not only was Kelly a beloved wife, mother and daughter, she was an amazing friend, colleague and inspiration to all.  She was the best dog mom to Max who continues to wait for her to walk through the door.  In addition to traditional funeral expenses, the Brandt family has further expenses including international out of network denied medical services, increased emergency airfare and luggage costs, international autopsy and cremation services as well as ensuring Kelly is returned home to her family in the United States.  Any donations made will go directly to the family and will be used for the unexpected expenses listed above.  The family would like to thank everyone for their emotional and financial support during this devastating time.
