My heart hurts beyond words. Isabella Humphries was full of life; she was ambitious, smart (the link to the paper she got published is below), beautiful - with a smile and laugh that filled the room, caring, and kind. She was 22 years old, and her life was taken by a driver who crossed the center line and hit her head on, ending her short life. We lost someone who wanted and did good in the world, and her absence is devastating. Bella always wanted to help others, so she chose to work in the healthcare field and had already made her mark there. Bella helped take care of her mother who is battling Stage 4 metastatic renal cancer because she wanted to be by her side fighting with her. All the while she graduated from college, worked full time, lived outside of her family home, and she still fought alongside her family.

As if it were not enough of a heartache to lose their daughter, the financial burden put on the Humphries family is more than they can afford at this time. This sudden death with one income and mounting medical bills is an ugly and immeasurable devastation for this family. If you can help by donating any amount, it would help relieve some of this burden and allow the family to focus on grieving, honoring, and healing from this tragic event. All donations will go directly to David and Lori Humphries.

Bella touched so many lives in her short 22 years. Her legacy she left behind is incredible for someone so young. She had so much promise ahead of her and so many ways she would have made this world a better place. She is so very loved, and so very missed by us all.

**Thank you so much everyone for your incredible generosity! I love how many people have come together for this dear family. Some of you are family, some of you are friends, and some of you didn’t know them at all. As a friend of the family, this is beautiful and I am so grateful for the love and support you’ve shown.
