During the evening of July 8, 2020, 17 year old Kierra Phillips was found dead in Texas. Today her family has gathered, tortured in knowing Kierra is gone without them having a chance to say goodbye. Financially this couldn't come at a worse time. COVID-19 has taken the jobs of both of Kierra's parents, leaving them with little to no income at the moment. Their small town in Texas has been hit hard economically and funds are tight for everyone. Yet the town is rallying, by organizing community car washes and other socially mindful events, to help provide Kierra the proper burial she so deserves. Kierra will be missed by everyone she came in contact with. From the teachers in her school, to the friends who sat beside her. From her fellow community members, to those she never met. Kierra was a beautiful soul and we will not allow him to take her memory from us. If you have anything to spare, please do so, for Kierra's funeral and for her devastated family. We appreciate each and every one of you, and we thank you on Kierra's behalf for giving her the dignified send-off she overwhelmingly deserves. All proceeds of this fundraiser will be delivered to Rita McQueen, Kierra's loving Grandmother, who is organizing Kierra's funeral with a local funeral home. Melissa Thurman is organizing this fundraiser. Melissa is Kierra's cousin and Rita's niece. Melissa lives in California and is helping the family from afar. All donations are welcomed and appreciated by Kierra's family and friends. Your thoughts, prayers and love is felt by them all. Thank you for any help you can provide.

UPDATE - We are very close to meeting the goal for the funeral expenses! Any additional money will help with the purchase of cemetery lots and a monument. The family has been deeply touched by this outpouring of love. Thank you!

Deb Samuels had a heart of gold. She loved her family beyond measure. And today, that golden heart gave out. Her family is numb. Their grief is raw. For the past 15 years, Deb has been disabled due to heart problems. A pacemaker, a defibrillator - so many attempts to fix the problem - but in the end - congestive heart failure caused too much of a strain on that beautiful heart of hers. Her family needs all of us to rally around them right now. Many ask, "What can we do to help?" One of the most important things you can do right now is to pray for her family - fortunately, we know Deb is with the Lord and that gives great peace - but there are the financial worries that go along with an unexpected death. Instead of flowers, we are suggesting that you make a contribution towards Deb's final expenses. By sharing this post, all of us together...chipping in...can lift a huge burden off Ernie's shoulders. Deb could never get life insurance with all her health problems and medical expenses. Through this special Fund the Funeral account - 100% of the donation goes directly to the funeral home where it is applied to Deb's final expenses. It's that easy! Just enter your payment amount and follow the directions. Please visit www.fisherfuneralchapel.com to read Deb's full obituary. Service times are scheduled for 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 23 with visitation from noon to 2 p.m. Thank you so much for your kindness to the Samuels family.

Hello,

We have not been successful in finding a life insurance policy to pay for my mother's services. We are asking for help to do just that. I apologize that it is short notice, however, we were sure that we would find a policy that was still valid. Thank you in advance. My family would greatly appreciate it.

Joe was a fun loving, outgoing, outdoor loving guy. He loved going out floating, mudding, trout fishing, and would do anything for his family or friends. Joe made the ultimate sacrifice while rescuing his nephew from the current of the Lamine river while they were out enjoying the evening as a family. This of course was a sudden and unexpected loss for his family. Any donation that you could make would be greatly appreciated to help us honor and pay tribute to his final act of selflessness. Your thoughts, prayers, and help are appreciated more than words could ever say.

This is for my dad Andrew. He was a 23 yr retired Navy Vetern, a Machinist, Catholic and most importantly a Husband and Father. He had two children from his first Marriage, Andy and Deniese and five from his second David and Evette (twins passed at birth). Lance, Mark and Jed (me). He was a good man who always made sure he was doing something, even though he retired from the Navy and from being a Machinist he started working for his church. Dad did everything he could to provide for his family and will be truly missed. He was liked and loved by everyone who met him and did whatever he could for them when they asked. This world lost a truly great man but heaven gained one and he can be at peace with his wife and my mother Janet.
