This is a post we have been dreading creating since Mandy was diagnosed November 29th,2011. Mandy has had continuous side effects from over a decade of fighting Cancer, Chemo,test studies and bone marrow transplants (just to name a few). The past few months have been especially trying for Mandy. Ultimately her body is slowly shutting down. There is nothing more her incredible doctors can do besides keep her comfortable.Mandy expressed her desire to go home. The amazing individuals at Arnold Palmer hospital made this happen last Wednesday and Mandy was transported home via a critical care ambulance. We have remained at her side since then as she transitions to the other side. We are blessed to have her palliative team coordinating with hospice Dr’s and nurses. She is comfortable and surrounded by familiar faces, sights and smells. Just as she wanted. As much as our hearts at breaking that our time with her earthside is coming to a close we are content that she will no long be in pain, no longer have to be shuttled from appointment to appointment and no longer have to face the difficulties that have plagued her since she was 1 year old.🎗️💗🌈🦄🦋
With that being said we have begun making end of life arrangements for Mandy. We will be having a celebration of life for Mandy. We are choosing to celebrate the way Mandy lived rather than focusing on the pain her absence will create. Mandy has always been extra and fabulous since birth so to truly honor her memory we are hoping to plan something just as extra and fabulous as her. We would also like to help alleviate the financial burden Ron & Jessica are facing. As Ron is currently not working to be able to soak up Mandy’s last moments. This entire family has endured so much so the ability for them to all be together in a time like this is priceless. We have started a go fund me to help Ron and Jessica in planning a truly special event for our one of a kind girl. Thank you in advance for any donations or if you aren’t in a position to donate please share this post. Here is the link for the go fund me:

Additionally a lot of people have reached out asking what they can do or how they can help. So we have also created a meal train to help ensure they stay fed at this difficult time. Here is the link for the meal train:

We are also asking for photos you may have of Mandy. We are hoping to create a special video to show at her celebration of life. Any memories you shared with her we would love to include. We ask that you please email any photos you wish to share to

If you have gotten this far… Thank you! Thank you for helping to support in what is truly a time of need and most of all thank your for your roll in Mandy’s life despite everything she has endured Mandy has faced every obstacle with extreme bravery and her signature sideways smile. We will post updates as they come. We aren’t sure how much time we have left with our sweet girl we just know it isn’t long. Again I have to express our gratitude to you all and also ask for your patience and understanding with us as we navigate through this incredibly difficult situation. ❣️🙏🏻
