Personal note from Kyler & Pax

To our friends and family who have reached out to offer condolences and support in this difficult time,
I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the outpouring of love and support that Pax and I have received from our community. Being surrounded by love as we navigate such a profound loss has helped us so much on our journey towards healing. Thank you to everyone who has dropped off a meal, helped in another way, sent an encouraging text, left me a loving voicemail, kept us in their thoughts or prayers, held space for us, and surrounded us with love. We know it may be a long road ahead, and we are so grateful to have so many wonderful people to help us along the way.
All of our love,
Kyler & Pax

SEND FOOD OR GROCERIES FROM AFAR

CLEANING SERVICE
There is a weekly cleaning service being coordinated for the foreseeable future. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please reach out to Amanda.

Updates

Update from Dec. 12, 2024

Dear friends and family,

Ever since Jamie's celebration of life, Pax and I continue to be surrounded by an incredible outpouring of love and support. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the EagleVail Pavillion in person and to those who sent their love from afar.

We are doing alright and slowly finding our rhythm again. The delicious meals and thoughtful gestures have been a tremendous help, especially as Pax transitions back to school full-time and as I return to work.

This holiday season, we are filled with gratitude for our friends & family and the community that continues to hold us up. We wish each of you joy, peace, and happiness in the weeks ahead and in the new year.

With love and gratitude,
Kyler
