Mallory Parker Memorial Fund

My beloved 18-year-old niece Mallory Parker was suddenly and horribly taken from us on Monday, January 14, 2019, in a car accident that changed our lives in a split second.

Mallory was an amazing young woman, who had fought through some dark times in her teens and came out of it stronger, smarter, and more determined than ever to make something of her life and to do good in this world. She was caring and compassionate, funny and upbeat, and always had a smile and a kind word for anyone who needed it. She loved animals and children, and was a ray of light in all of our lives and the lives of so many others who knew her.

Her father, my brother Jesse, and her mother Natasha, are now faced with the heartbreaking task of laying their baby to rest. Her siblings, her grandparents, myself and my other brother -- we are all devastated by her death and we want to do right by her memory. She deserves a funeral service worthy of the impact she left on this world. My brother has worked so hard his whole life, providing for his three children, the first of which was born just after he turned 20. He has given them everything he could, even when times were extremely tight. He and Natasha just want to give their little girl a proper goodbye.

If you can spare anything at all, it would be so very much appreciated. As you are no doubt aware, even simple funeral services and associated costs can be astronomical. Every bit truly helps. Your prayers and good thoughts are also welcome, and please also honor Mallory's memory yourself by making sure everyone in your life knows how much you love and care for them. 

Thank you.
