The most unexpected loss
On June 7, 2023, Lisa started to feel unwell, on June 8 she called 911 and was admitted to the emergency room and then ICU. Despite the constant effort and care of a team of talented physicians across two hospital systems, Lisa was lost to us by Friday night, June 9.
At her death she was surrounded by friends and family, including her two sons, all of us in disbelief at what was happening and how quickly she passed out of our lives.
Lisa was a single mom, working hard to build a future for her two sons that included the best education and support she could find. Jack is excelling in his studies at Xavier, and August has been on the Dean’s List at Cornell College for his freshman year this year. Lisa held a position at Cornell College which offered tuition coverage for her children who chose to attend there. This benefit will be extended to August for his career at Cornell but does not cover other essentials.
Moving forward
Friends and family are rallying around her two boys, August and Jack, and helping with costs for funerals and settling her estate. At this time, we’re unsure what the medical costs may be outside of insurance coverage and may increase this fundraising goal as that information becomes available.
Without Lisa’s salary, it will be challenging for the boys to continue the education that their mother was so fierce about providing them. We are looking for help to build a college fund to cover room and board, books, and fees for August, and allow Jack to complete his education at Xavier and earn his undergraduate degree.
