It is with great sadness and heartache that we mourn the passing of Chelsea Asher, beloved mother of Adrian Asher, after a years-long battle with cancer. She leaves us too early and has left a hole in the hearts of the many people whose lives she has touched with her kindness and bright spirit.

As her family plans the arrangements, I am collecting donations for her son and some of his ongoing counseling. Anything we could do to give him a head start in life would be an invaluable gift.
