A family in need...

My sister Denise is relief society president in her ward in Surprise. A friend/woman in her ward just lost her husband on Tues morning, which was completely unexpected. He was 34. They still don't know why he died, only that it might be due to complications from a recent surgery that he had. She is probably my age and they have one little boy who will be 3 on Nov 14. Not only that, but Heidi and Jeremy's wedding anniversary is on Nov 10, and Heidi's bday is Nov 11! Then to top it all off, you add in the upcoming holidays. I can really feel her pain, having watched my husband and all of my in-laws experience the unexpected death of Kaelsy & Steven. It is absolutely heartbreaking. I set up a memorial account for them at Bank of America and am trying to put together donations and fundraising ideas to help Heidi and her family. They were living pretty modestly, as Jeremy had just started a new job. He also didn't have life insurance, so there is a definate need there for help. Just the funeral costs are absolutely outrageous. I'm asking all to please add the Williams family in your prayers and if anyone has any ideas/suggestions or donations that would be greatly appreciated! I'm off to try to set up a fundraiser for Saturday!
