We want to thank everyone who helps us during this most difficult time of loss. Elizabeth Melody Ann Dodd was born on September 29, 2000. She left this world on March 22, 2021. As a little one, she was the brightest light in any room. She gave her favorite toy away just to see a smile. She completed her 4 years of high school in under 6 months attending Penn Foster online. She started Central Methodist University at the tender age of 15. Her world dramatically changed when she fell into the wrong crowd while working for a haunt in Columbia and Midway. She was loved and loved others so much. She will be missed by those who remember what she would sacrifice anything to make someone feel the tiniest bit better.

She is survived by her parents; Sean & Amy Connell of Fayette, Mo. and Lance & Colleen Dodd of McGirk, Mo. - grandparents; Steve & Diane Miller of California, Mo. and Steve & Pam Liebi also of California - aunt and uncle; Chuck Merchant & Lisa Miller of Skiatook, Ok. and Sha Fortner of California, Mo. - brother-in-law; Robert Anderson - several wonderful cousins.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Nikolette Connell-Dodd.

Jeff was an amazing husband, father of 3 children, brother of 2, uncle of 2, and a best friend to so many. He was a fighter all his life. All Jeff wanted was peace and happiness for his family & loved ones. One of his biggest goals in life was to see his family succeed. He stopped at nothing to make sure of that. Jeff, with no doubt, was the hardest working man we knew for the longest time up until his uncontrollable health problems took over. Constantly dealing with kidney issues, diabetes, low & high blood pressure, strokes, knee issues, etc. Being on so many medications took a toll as well. After his ongoing battles with his health, Jeff passed peacefully in his sleep on March 20, 2021 at the Presbyterian Hospital in downtown Pittsburgh due to a brain hemorrhage. As some of you may know, losing someone so close & so unexpectedly takes a horrible toll on you, especially when you're not prepared mentally or financially. At this time we're asking for donations. It would be greatly appreciated for anything we could get for Jeff, to get him what he deserves. Thank you for all your love and support. It does not go unnoticed.

Martin Garcia Sr. unexpectedly passed away on March 24, 2021. He was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2019 and was receiving treatment. Recently he was diagnosed and hospitalized with Colitis and was released from the hospital a week ago. He came to visit with his parents when he became extremely ill. EMS was called and he was rushed to the emergency room where they found he had a perforated bowel that caused him to be septic. He had emergency surgery to remove the part of his bowel that was not working but his blood pressure was low and his heart rate was high. He was on four different medications to maintain his blood pressure. His nurse noticed he had no reflexes and contacted the doctors. His nurse then contacted the family and then the decision was made to give him comfort measures only. After removing the breathing tube and taking him off of all of his medications, he passed away. His death was so sudden and unexpected that the family needs help paying for his service. Anything will help, thank you.
