May 18,2025…a day I wish I could erase from my memory and from happening. As I am trying to write this I continuously am deleting as I type.

the truth is nothing will ever come out “right.”

On May 18, 2025 my son and I lost or world tragically while on a cruise. Nothing will ever be the same again. My 2 year old son no longer has a father and I lost my bestfriend.

Having to navigate this as a single mother is something new to me and we depended on Richard for so much..emotionally, financially…everything.

Due to the circumstances and my son being so young and needing to get a lot done before I can even think again I am creating this gofundme as a way so that I am not having to think too much about expenses during this time as I will be taking time off of work.

Anything is greatly appreciated by my family…my son and I…& I know Richard would be so grateful to know his little loves are being taken care of.

love,

Hilary
