Good afternoon everyone,

Hope this message finds you well! It is hard to believe that we are already at almost one year since Dad's passing. It's been a difficult year, to say the least, but we are finding our way through it with every day. Learning to live without him is a daily struggle for us all.

I have a couple of things to ask/share with everyone as I reflect on the impending one year anniversary. First, while we are obviously sad, I think it'd be great for us all to hear from you and if you're willing, to share/post a favorite memory of Dad on here! As August 27 approaches, I think it'd be great for myself, Kac, and mom to read these and reflect on the impact Dad made on everyone's lives!

Second, on September 28, I will be running a half marathon in Fort Wayne called "Fort 4 Fitness." I have created a Go Fund Me campaign to raise awareness and funds for the Froedtert Hospital Child Life Services program. This program greatly helped me and my family to assure that Kacie and I had the support and resources necessary to assure Dad/Grandpa's memory stays alive in Lyla and Makenzie's hearts. I ask you to please visit my Go Fund Me page to learn more about this incredible program and my fundraising efforts:

Thank you all for the love, support, encouragement, and kindness you've sent our way during the past year, and thanks in advance for considering sharing your memories of dad. 

With love and gratitude,
Tiff
