We recently received heartbreaking news that my husband’s younger cousin, Van Ter Lee, has passed away in Fresno County. For many years, our family had lost contact with him, and we were unaware of his situation until authorities reached out. Because of this unexpected loss, there were no preparations in place. Our family is now doing everything we can to make sure Van is treated with dignity and laid to rest properly.

The funds raised will help cover funeral costs and travel expenses so our family can honor Van and ensure he is laid to rest with dignity. We want to give him the respect he deserves, and your support will make a meaningful difference during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help us come together as a family and provide Van with a proper farewell. We are also hoping to reconnect with relatives and friends who may want to pay their respects or share memories of Van.

If you are able to donate, we are deeply grateful. If not, simply sharing this page would mean so much to our family. Thank you for your kindness and support.
