It’s with the heaviest heart that I write this message, not to celebrate a life lived to its fullest, but to mourn a life tragically and senselessly cut short. As many of you know, my Uncle Doug Dodson was taken from us far too soon due to an act of violence. The pain our family is experiencing is unimaginable, a gaping wound that will never truly heal.
Doug was deserved so much more than this. We are all reeling from this devastating loss, trying to comprehend how something so horrific could happen.
In the midst of our grief, we are also facing the daunting reality of funeral and burial expenses. We were not prepared for such an unexpected and heartbreaking tragedy, and the costs associated with laying Doug to rest are significant. We want to give them the dignified farewell they deserve, but we simply cannot do it alone.
That’s why we’ve set up a fundraiser campaign. Every single donation, no matter how small, will help us cover these immediate costs and allow us to focus on grieving and healing as a family. Your generosity will alleviate a tremendous burden during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, we completely understand. Your thoughts, prayers, and even just sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to us.
Thank you for being here, for your love, your support, and for helping us honor the memory of Doug. We are truly grateful for any assistance you can offer as we navigate this unimaginable pain.
