Baca Memorial & Scholarship Fund

Shari's family would like to thank everyone for the contributions received already. It's taken quite a load off of their shoulders as they grieve. While the cost of the funeral is covered now with all your generosity, Jordyn will be heading to college in Grand Junction in the fall, and Joseph is heavily involved in sports. We're hoping to set aside money to help them pay for some of these expenses, including the normal monthly expenses we all have (phones, insurance, gas, food). Some of you may know that Elizabeth Hansen (AKA Shari's sister-wife) has taken guardianship of Joseph and Jordyn. We're reaching out to everyone to help make sure these kids have everything they need.

We hope you can all join us Thursday to celebrate Shari's amazing life.

Shari's family and Beth and Jeff appreciate the enormous amount of support and generosity people have shown in this gofundme page. It's incredibly humbling to see how people come together when someone so loved is in need. We decided to increase the goal. The funeral expenses are covered, which is incredible. We want to make sure Joseph and Jordyn don't have to worry about anything. Jordyn is heading to college in the fall, and there are day to day expenses that still need to be taken care of (car insurance, cell phones, gas, school functions), and any help we can provide Beth and Jeff would be incredible. It takes a village, and Shari had a village of people that loved her and her children.

Wanted to give an update on the funeral plans. The wake/viewing will start at 9:00 am, and there will be a rosary and a mass that starts at 10:00 am. This will be at Romero's

Romero's Funeral Home
4750 Tejon Street
Denver, 80211

A reception will immediately follow the mass at a different location:
El Merendero

There will be food at the reception. There will also be cards at each table for you to fill out a memory of Shari. Please bring a picture with you if you'd like to attach that to the card. A memory book will be made for Joseph and Jordyn out of all of our memories of Shari.

If you'd like, wear a little royal blue for colon cancer awareness, to honor Shari's memory and battle with colon cancer.
