My dear friend, Missy, and her sister Dawn, lost their father earlier this week suddenly. Russell Joseph Patrey passed away on Tuesday after a brief illness, and will be sorely missed by his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, family and friends.

I created this GoFundMe to help alleviate the financial burden we all know comes with end-of-life expenses. Unfortunately, Russell did not have life insurance or any arrangements made in advance — so the burden falls to Missy and Dawn.

But…. I believe in the power of community in a time of need, so thanks for considering a donation big or small to help ease their minds in this difficult time.

much love,

Chrissy Shaeffer
