A Message from Our Family
Our family would like to take a moment to speak to the community during this incredibly difficult time. Our siblings and our families have experienced an unimaginable loss. We have lost both our mother and our father. They were both our parents, and both loved us with everything they had. Their love for their grandchildren was immeasurable.
After much thought, and during these incredibly difficult circumstances, we have made the decision to hold one service together to honor both of our parents. We understand that everyone may have their own feelings and perspectives, but this is the decision we have made as a family, and we ask that it be respected.
We also want to take this opportunity to share a message that we hope reaches even just one person who may need to hear it.
Please know that you are never alone. Life can be incredibly hard, and sometimes the struggles people carry are not visible to those around them. Whether you are struggling with your mental health, spiritual well-being, financial circumstances, relationships, or anything else life may bring, please reach out. Ask for help. Talk to someone. There is no hardship, no circumstance, and no struggle that you have to face entirely on your own. Your life matters, and there are people who want to help you through the difficult moments.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to this community for the overwhelming love, prayers, kindness, and support you have shown our family. We feel every bit of it, and we are forever grateful.
With love and gratitude,
Brianna, Kira, Brody, Brazan
