Honoring Thyra Lowe: Support her Family and Legacy

My name is Michael Mannozzi, and I had the honor, the privilege, and the joy of being married to Thyra Lowe for 17 years. She was and remains the single most unique, special, and caring human I have ever met. Thyra lived and loved hard, with passion. She was an extraordinary wife and mother, as well as a sister and a friend to many. Those who knew her, even briefly, will never forget her spirit.

Tragically, on July 28 of this year, a great hole was torn into our family. Thyra succumbed suddenly to an illness, shortly after our return to Ghana from an overseas trip. She and I dreamt of living in Africa together, worked toward that goal together, and saw it realized together in 2023. She got one whole year of living out her dream, and she was never happier.

This tragedy has had devastating effects on each of us, starting with the kids. They are strong like their mother, but also in so much hurt. I have lost my other half, the one who stood for me, unequivocally, always. The effects are also financial, and this is the reason for my campaign. I aim to honor my commitments to my truly better half. Secure the children's schooling and well being, create a true home for us here, and create enterprises that tangibly change people's lives in the spirit of love and true caring.

I see this campaign as creating a memorial fund for my dearest and deepest friend, Thyra Lowe. I know she meant so very much to so many people, and I hope that you might help me honor her through this campaign. Please help me ensure that her family, her works, and her legacy can continue to grow into the future. Thank you, one love.
