In Memory of Alissa Marie Gardner

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Alissa Marie Gardner on June 4th. Despite the fact that she was ill, it happened very suddenly and far too soon. She was only 36 and leaves behind a 10 year old daughter, Cali, which makes it all the more tragic.

In the Spring of 2021 she received a liver transplant. Though she was granted a second chance at life, there were many complications that came along with such an invasive procedure. She fought long and hard to stay on this earth with her loving family, especially for her beautiful daughter, Cali, whom she loved with her entire heart and soul.

With this devastating loss comes a significant financial impact on her family, as she had no life insurance. As devastated as we all are, its almost unfathomable to think of having to grow up without a mother, at the tender age of

10. Alissa's world revolved around Cali, and she beamed with pride every time she talked about her. Therefore, all of the money donated will be put into a trust fund for Cali, in an attempt to help ease some of the financial burden she will face as an adult. Alissa had a heart of gold and always saw the best in people. She always went out of her way to help people; and was generous to the detriment to herself. She was fiercly loyal to her friends, a true friend to the endBesides the countless memories, she has given SO much to each one of us As our final gesture, we would like to give back to her. Cali was her whole world and I know Alissa can finally be pain-free and at peace, knowing her daughter is surrounded by people who love her and have her best interest at heart and she doesn't have to struggle financially when she becomes an adult. We greatly appreciate anything that you can spare. Prayers and wishes are also greatly appreciated. Thank you for any and all support you are able to provide during this exceptionally difficult time.
