Our beloved Terri has had to go through the unimaginable, losing her daughter Ryanna this week. Terri is mother to four amazing girls, and we want to make sure she and her family have the support and financial security to deal with this sudden loss. Every contribution, no matter the size - is greatly appreciated.

Terri shared the following:

Ryanna, lovingly known as “Ry,” was the 3rd oldest of our 4 girls. She was our loud one, our unfiltered one, the one who made sure the house was never quiet.

She loved makeup, hair, Roblox, music, and anime. You could always find her singing around the house, laughing at TikToks, or on the floor playing with our cats, Apollo and Tobi, and our dog, Kuma. She had a soft spot for her grandmother and was always the first to jump in and help anyone who needed it.

Ry struggled with social anxiety and depression, battles that most people didn’t fully see. But once you got past those walls and she felt safe with you, she blossomed. Her personality would shine through, and you couldn’t help but love her. Even on her hardest days, she still found ways to make other people laugh, feel seen, and feel less alone.

Her dream was to one day visit Japan, soak in the culture she loved so much through anime and music, and go to cosmetology school so she could help people feel beautiful in their own skin.

If you knew Ry, you knew she did not know how to sugarcoat anything. She would tell you about yourself with a straight face and a side-eye, but always from a place of love. She held up a mirror to all of us and made us face the truth, and because of that, she helped us become better people.

Ryanna will be forever loved and deeply missed by her parents, sisters, family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. We only wish more people had the chance to experience just how special she truly was.
