As you may or may not know, one of my best friends, a man I consider a brother, recently lost his wife (also my family’s dear friend) to a debilitating disease and subsequent complications this last week. She’s left behind a loving husband and three beautiful children, along with her mother, a host of extended family, and an entire community of loving friends and acquaintances. The amount of people she’s touched and inspired can never be truly measured, and she will be sorely missed.
In lieu of a traditional funeral, her husband and children are opting to scatter her ashes in the waters of the Virgin Islands - her favorite place in the world (other than in the arms of her family), and in accordance with her final wishes foher remains . Tone is a small business owner (check out TS Pro Grooming in Longview for the best barbers in town), and now a single father of three, so a Go Fund me has been setup on their behalf to help cover some of the costs of the trip along with the expenses involved with taking time for bereavement.
If you knew Vanessa, or know Tone, you’ve most likely also been touched by their kindness, generosity, unflinching example of faith in Jesus, and their unbreakable bond as partners. Her loss is a loss for us all, but there is also comfort in knowing her pain has ended. The Sosa family, however, is still here and in need of their community. If you feel compelled, please consider contributing to the Go Fund Me link below. Their target isn’t huge so I have no doubt your kind donation, no matter how large or little, will help get them to the goal and beyond. Thanks for your time, consideration, and generosity.
Please also respect the family’s wishes for peace and privacy at this time. The donation, will speak volumes on your bahalf…
