Update: Nicole and her children are so grateful for the generosity, kindness, prayers, and compassion you have all shown them during this incredibly difficult time. There truly are no words to describe what they are going through. They are now faced with the unimaginable task of trying to move forward without Collie—something they never thought possible.

Please continue to share this page. All funds raised will go directly toward helping them with the many unforeseen expenses this tragedy has brought upon them, covering both the big and the small things they must now navigate.

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, from everyone in our family.

I am setting up this GoFundMe for my cousin Nicole, who lost her husband suddenly this week. Nicole, her children, and our entire family are devastated by this loss. Coping with such an unexpected tragedy is something I hope I’m never faced with. Those of you who know Nicole know that she currently lives in Ireland, which makes this even harder. We all want to be near her and the kids to help them get through this, but being so far away is not an easy task.

Nicole and the kids are going to have many unexpected bills to cover. I am asking for prayers and any donation you can give to help her and the kids get through day-to-day life. Hopefully, we can raise enough to help her come back here and have a service for Colum in a couple of months. Anything you can give will help. Nicole is the most generous, caring, and loving person. She is always there to help others. Now it’s our turn to be there and help her.

I set up this account, but all money raised will go directly to Nicole and her family. I thank you in advance for anything you can give. Every little bit helps. We are grateful for all the love and support.
