Support the Nossaman-Pierce Family's Healing

"Dear Friends and Generous Supporters,

The Nossaman Pierce family are so deeply touched by your outpourings of love and support since Luke's passing. Your shared grief and memories, compassion and kindness have been a source of strength for Mike, Sarah and Jake during this profoundly difficult time. Your generous donations have made it possible for them to take some much-needed time away from work to begin to process and grieve this tremendous, life-shattering loss, and will help to cover the costs associated with his passing and memorial service. Each gesture of kindness has combined to light the path forward as they struggle to wrap their hearts and minds around a life without their bright, beautiful, beloved son and brother. The way the community has come together to hold up and embrace their family has been overwhelmingly gracious and we are forever grateful to you all. We plan to celebrate Luke's life with a memorial gathering in the spring, when the sun brings hope again and the weather allows us to come together outdoors. We look forward to sharing memories and honoring Luke's incredible spirit with our wonderful, dearly-loved community. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your outpourings of love and compassion, your incredible generosity and your continued support. We will share more details about the memorial service as the date approaches.

With profound gratitude,

Sophia Pelafigue

Our dear friends, the Nossaman-Pierce family, are experiencing an unimaginable loss with the passing of their beloved son, Luke (January 8, 2005-November 26, 2024). During this time of profound grief, we're coming together as a community to support them. The greatest gift we can offer right now is time – time to grieve, to remember, and to begin healing without the immediate pressure of returning to work.

We're creating this memorial fund to help provide the Nossaman-Pierce family with financial support during their bereavement leave. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help give them the space they need to honor their son's memory and process their loss together as a family. Your support will allow them to take time away from work during this difficult period. Thank you for showing your love and support for their family during this heartbreaking time. Your kindness means more than words can express.
