Hello Friends, Family, and Neighbors,

It's difficult to put into words the emotions that we have all been feeling over the past few days. On Saturday morning, we received news from Theresa's family that she passed surrounded by her loved ones. This was the news we knew, deep down, was coming eventually. But how could it possibly be coming now?

Too soon... Not fair... Countless other thoughts about the loss we are feeling fill our heads and hearts. At the center of them, perhaps the loudest of all - how can we help?

I am upping our goal yet again so that Bryan and the boys have an opportunity to choose what they need. As I hear of other efforts I will

also share those. You have all been so generous, I'm asking once more to donate if you can, and to spread this page, with the option to donate and link to Theresa's blog.

Hug your loved ones a little tighter; meet up with old friends for dinner; be present and experience today. Life is simply too short.

If you want to learn more about Theresa and her journey, I encourage you to read her blog, linked here .
