My name is Jenn and I’m reaching out on behalf of my mom, Frances, and my stepdad, Ray. Ray has been bravely battling lung cancer, and we’ve now reached a very difficult stage. He has went home to be with Jesus on 4/7/26. While our hearts are heavy, we are holding onto faith, love, and the precious time we had left with him.

Ray is a deeply loved husband, father, uncle, brother, and grandpa, as well as a man of faith. He has touched so many lives with his kindness, strength, and love for his family. Watching someone you love go through this is incredibly hard, and we are doing everything we can to support my mom during this time.

We are asking for help to ease the financial burden that comes with funeral expenses and everyday living expenses for my mom while she grieves. Donations will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, outstanding medical-related costs, and helping my mom with ongoing household bills and living expenses during this transition. If you are able to give, no matter the amount, it would mean so much to our family. And if you’re not able to donate, we completely understand—please keep us in your prayers and consider sharing this with others. Thank you for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. It truly means more than we can express.
