Let’s give this beautiful soul a proper send off.

I’m not sure where to start or how I’m even going to get through typing this so here goes….
My name is Carrie Lavallie and I am the mother of Ruby and Keith Lavallie. I am organizing this gofundme on behalf of John and Linda Lynch for the tragic loss of their grandson Joseph Lynch. The two had adopted Joe and his brother Aiden when they were young boys. My daughter Ruby has been his long term girlfriend for the past seven years and my sons best friend through that time as well. To simply say he was someone important to us is an understatement. Joe had spent several of those years living with our family full time during the pandemic and has become just as important to me as one of my own children.
For those of you who don’t know Joe was killed in a tragic motor vehicle accident Sunday evening in Ware Ma. The driver of the vehicle was life flighted to the hospital and is currently in the icu in critical condition.
Joe was always ready to help anyone regardless of the struggles he was facing alone. Aside from his beaming blue eyes and smile that could light up a room, he had the ability to walk into any place and make anyone laugh even if it meant he was the butt of a joke. His laugh was contagious as well as his childlike zest for life.
Through this campaign, we are reaching out to you for assistance in helping the family manage the burden of having to cover these unexpected costs. Your contributions will directly support the funeral expenses for Joe ensuring a fitting tribute to his life, and will also aid in covering any bills that may accrue now after Joe has passed. He was a financial supporter and caretaker for his grandparents who have been dealing with medical issues. Any left over will be given to the family to aid in their recovery for this immeasurable loss.
Your generosity in this time of need is more than a financial aid; it represents a lifeline of empathy and community support for Joe. Whether it is through a donation or by sharing this campaign with others, any help you can offer will make a significant difference. We thank you wholeheartedly for your kindness and support. In moments like these, the power of community and collective compassion truly shines through.
With sincere thanks,
(on behalf of John and Linda Lynch)
