Help support Fatherless Lily "Bug"

Tragically Jeffrey J Clausen, age 34, of Pine Bush NY has unexpectedly passed away, leaving behind his beautiful, sweet, daughter, Lily "Bug". The siblings of Jeffrey Clausen are raising funds in support of our gregarious 7-year-old niece, Lily Anne Clausen. The light of Jeffrey's life.

Lily's sudden, heartbreaking loss will undoubtedly darken her joyous spirit and impact her financially. Without her Daddy, she will have less light in her life than she deserves. There is perhaps no loss greater than when a little girl loses her Dad. We know that for the rest of her life, when she closes her eyes she will see him, hear him, and question God's reasoning for taking him. It will be tough and we will be there for her, showering her with love and carrying on with the joyful, playful spirit that would have otherwise been there.

Jeffrey's death feels even more untimely and unimaginable because he fought through a tragic life to recently find financial stability and emotional hope where he hadn't before. He used his Lily Bug as the inspiration and a newfound love as his guidance to forge a better life. He was on his way because it is in love that we are made and it is love that we live.

Our hope is that this fundraiser will support Lily with the essentials, such as therapy and education. These needs are for her to blossom as she was destined to. Our hope is that your donation will help her see that this world is still wonderful and worth living in. We promise to Lily to do our best, and we thank you for your support and love.
