Though they no longer walk this earth with us and their loss feels unbearable, we find comfort in the memory of all the wild and beautiful moments we shared together. We will cling to these moments as we remember the imprint they have left on our hearts forever.

Their passing has left the fabric of our family forever changed. However, we find solace that Jude and Ryver were able to touch 6 lives through organ donation. We think often and send our blessings and love to the recipients and their families. The legacy of these children and the promise of the amazing things that they will accomplish in this life bring closure and hope in the wake of Jude and Ryver's tragic passing.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be gifted to Berea Christian Learning Center, Goose Creek CISD Special Olympics or LifeGift These organizations are near and dear to the hearts of this family and provide vital services to our community.

There are no words to express the love and gratitude for the friends, family and community who have actively shown love and support to our family in countless ways. Service to others has always been a value that we have strived for and instilled in our children. We ask that you carry this with you and continue to pass it on.
