We are grateful for your willingness to support Karen and Ethan's little sister, C, through the incredibly challenging loss of their son and brother, Ethan, who died on December 14, 2023. Instead of a funeral service, a viewing was held before his cremation services on December 21, 2023, at Byrd and Flanigan, Lawrenceville, Ga. Ethan is preceded in death by his father, Terry, and his grandma, Kate.

Karen and C would like to thank everyone who came to show their love and support and those who reached out from afar.  

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will significantly impact their lives as they try to recalibrate their life without Ethan. 

Together, we can provide them with much-needed support and help them navigate this difficult time. Here's how you can help:

Consider Donating: Consider making a financial contribution to assist Karen and C directly. Karen is a widowed mother and full-time graduate student; every dollar counts and will go towards ensuring they meet their basic needs. If you have any questions or require further information on contributing directly through Cash App, Venmo, or other funding sources, please don't hesitate to email or text the family for that information.

Connect: Please let us know if you know of any local organizations or support groups that could provide additional resources for Karen and C. We believe in fostering strong community ties and collaboration for maximum impact. Taking them to lunch, visiting, or meeting them in the park to get them out and about can be a big help and a welcome distraction.

Spread the Word: Share this link with your friends, family, and social media networks. By raising awareness about their situation, we can reach more people who can offer assistance and resources.

Pray: We are a family who believes in the power of prayer; if you are too, please remember our family in prayer and know that we appreciate you doing so. 

Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your incredible support towards Karen and C.

With heartfelt gratitude, Karen's sister,

Stephanie
