We are heartbroken to share that on November 16th, 2025, Thaddeus Ampadu—a beloved husband, brother, son, uncle, and friend—passed away unexpectedly while on vacation in Italy. His sudden loss has created a profound emptiness in our lives, and we are coming together to honor his memory in the most supportive way we can. Right now, our priority is surrounding Francesca with care as she navigates this devastating loss. In the midst of overwhelming grief, even the simplest daily tasks can feel impossible. To help ease her burden and ensure she has the space to focus on healing, we are organizing a meal train. Providing meals is a tangible and heartfelt way to show love, support, and stability during this difficult transition. If you are able, we invite you to sign up to bring a meal, send prepared food, or contribute a comforting dish that can be easily reheated. Your kindness will offer Francesca nourishment, rest, and one less thing to worry about in the weeks ahead. If you’re unable to participate in the meal train, please keep the Ampadu family in your prayers and share this message with others who may want to help. Thank you for showing up with compassion and care during this heartbreaking time.
No allergies. Not a fan of sea food. Soft foods, soups, and high protein meals preferred. **PLEASE REACH OUT TO FRANCESCA DIRECTLY TO COORDINATE HOW AND WHEN TO BRING A MEAL**
