Love for Josephine

Our hearts are broken as we surround this beautiful family with love following the unimaginable loss of their precious baby girl, Josephine. Josephine’s life was far too short, but it was a life filled completely with love. From the moment she entered this world, she was surrounded by the love of her mom, dad, brother, grandparents, aunts, and an entire family who adored her, prayed for her, and loved her more than words could ever express. She will forever be a cherished daughter, granddaughter, little sister, niece, and member of our family. During the days and weeks ahead, we would love to help take care of some of the everyday things so that Cory, Allison, and Auden can simply focus on one another and grieve without having to worry about meals and finances. We’ve created this Meal Train as one small way to wrap them in love and support. If you would like to help, please consider signing up to provide a meal, sending a restaurant or food-delivery gift card, or contributing toward a meal. We've also created a GoFundMe to give their family the gift of time—time to grieve their daughter, time to be together, and time to begin processing this tremendous loss without feeling pressured to return to work. Both Cory and Allison will be taking time off work without pay so any money raised will go directly toward their household expenses and other financial needs during their time away from work.The link can be found below. Most importantly, please continue to keep Josephine’s family in your prayers. We pray that God holds them especially close, gives them strength for each day ahead, and reminds them that they are surrounded by so many people who love them. Thank you for helping us care for this family and honor the beautiful, deeply loved life of sweet baby Josephine. ❤️ A note about privacy: For now, Cory, Allison, and their family are asking that the news of Josie’s passing remain private and **not be shared or posted on social media. We also ask that you please do not post or publicly share the GoFundMe or Meal Train links at this time. These links may be shared privately and directly with family and friends who would like to support them, but please refrain from posting them publicly. The family will let everyone know when they are comfortable with this information being shared more broadly. Thank you for respecting their wishes and giving them the privacy they need as they grieve.
