Support for a grieving family

In just a matter of days, my family experienced the unimaginable. Our family is devastated and still trying to process the overwhelming grief and pain that comes with losing two loved ones so close together while also being in charge of all arrangements. My brother was truly one of the kindest people you could ever meet. He passed in a motorcycle accident. I hope this is an eye opener for all cyclist to be careful, especially in heavy traffic. He had a heart that was always open, always willing to help anyone who needed it. Whether it was family, a friend, or a total stranger. He was the kind of person who made everyone around him feel safe, seen, and loved. The best guy around. We needed more people like him in this world. His presence was a light in so many lives, and I can’t understand why someone so good was taken away from us. It doesn’t feel fair. The hole he’s left behind is impossible to fill, but I hope we can honor him by remembering the way he lived with kindness, compassion, and love. My grandma was an amazing woman—strong, gentle, and full of love. She had a quiet wisdom about her and a heart that always made room for others. Her family meant everything to her, and she showed it in the way she cared, supported, and loved us all unconditionally. She also had the softest spot for animals. Whether it was a stray cat or a bird in the yard, she had a way of making every living thing feel safe and loved. That kindness and warmth radiated through everything she did. She was the kind of person you just don’t come across often—steady, selfless, and always thinking of others before herself. Her loss is deeply felt, but her love lives on in all of us who were lucky enough to know her. The emotional toll is immeasurable, and the financial burden that comes with funeral arrangements, time away from work, and trying to keep up with day-to-day expenses is something no one should have to face alone. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and help give us a little room to breathe as we begin to navigate this painful journey of healing. Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or simply sending love and prayers is more appreciated than we can express. Thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion during this unimaginable time. With love, Taylor Berryman
