With the holiday season rapidly approaching an end, and a new year beginning, we want to wish everyone good health and spirit for 2025.

Unfortunately, as many are aware of my mother, Mikki, passed away unexpectedly on Thanksgiving. Despite the rapid response of EMS, life saving measures were unsuccessful.

To know my mother was to know someone who spoke her mind without a filter, but she'd happily give you the shirt on her back if you were in need. You could see her presence around the local businesses and many homes as she embraced her passion for landscaping by working for Gardens by Dianne.

Growing up, my mom prioritized my happiness and well being over her own. I was raised without ever knowing any suffering or sadness. She always made my life her priority, and worked multiple jobs to make my dreams happen.

In times of tragedy, financial strain is often placed in the hands of family members. Unfortunately, the unexpected death has brought to light the financial strain my parents have been facing privately in recent years. My father is retired and is now solely relying on only his income to keep things afloat (as much as he would love to go back to work, his body will not allow that). To help the financial hardship my father is to face in upcoming days, months and potentially years, I humbly and graciously ask for your help.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
