Easing the Burden for Bryce and Spencer

This fund is being organized for my cousins, Spencer and Bryce. They are coping with the loss of both of their wonderful parents within a few months of each other. I would like to help ease the financial burden that comes with losing a loved one, so they are able to have room to grieve while still being able to have meaningful memorials. Any contribution is greatly appreciated.

Below is a message from Bryce and Spencer:

"I’m heartbroken to share that Bryce and I recently lost our father, just as we were coming home from delivering the memorial service for our mother. This tragic timing has left us reeling and in urgent need of support.

Our father was a vibrant soul who loved parties, sports, and storytelling. He was a talented photographer who captured dramatic and vital footage for national broadcast news, and a dedicated father who raised two sons with love, care, and wisdom. Alongside my mother, he also took on the important responsibility of caring for his aging parents. Despite his struggles, he always provided for his family and masked his difficulties with a brave face.

In addition to coping with this profound loss, we are facing the challenge of navigating the probate process for my mother's estate. Your support will not only help us with the immediate funeral arrangements but also aid us as we manage these complex responsibilities during such a difficult time.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated and will help honor our father’s memory and support our family as we move forward. Thank you for your compassion and generosity."

An update from Spencer and Bryce (9/14/24):

"Dear Friends and Family,

First, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of support and kindness we've received during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of both of our parents has been profoundly overwhelming, and your generosity has provided us with much-needed comfort and strength.

As we navigate the complex process of settling our parents' estates, we’re reaching out to share a crucial update. The funds raised will now be directed specifically toward covering Property-related debts, contracts, and legal expenses associated with managing their separate estates. Our primary concern is to ensure that their prized possessions and cherished memories are preserved and handled with the respect they deserve.

The probate process is challenging and, unfortunately, quite costly. The legal fees involved are necessary to secure the rightful distribution of their assets and to protect the integrity of their legacy. Your continued support will be instrumental in helping us cover these expenses, so we can focus on honoring their memory and ensuring that their belongings are not lost or mishandled.

We are deeply appreciative of every contribution, as it directly impacts our ability to manage this process with dignity and care. Your support means more to us than words can express, and it provides much-needed relief during this trying period.

Thank you once again for standing by us, and for your ongoing compassion and generosity.

With heartfelt thanks,

Spencer and Bryce"
