FYI
We deeply regret to announce that one of our own is no longer with us.  Layce Brugge (MM #52690) was tragically killed in a car accident on Tuesday morning Jan 17.
There will be a trust fund set up by her family, for her 4 year old son, Christian.  All of the details have not been worked out as of yet, but if you are interested in attending Her funeral or donating to Christian’s trust fund, please check back with us, as we will be posting all of the information on our MM site, our OMP site, as well as our home page. This letter is to get the word out as quickly as possible so that anyone who is interested will have enough time to make plans, because, by the time all of the arrangements are sent to us, and then to everyone else, it may be too late for some to attend, who really might have been able to, otherwise.

Also, if you have any other suggestions for helping out with Christian’s future, please let us know.

Thanks so much for your consideration in advance,
Marty and Aimee Harper

This is very sad to hear.  More reason that maybe Tyler should consider a Memorial page for this site.  I know we don't live forever, but when a young lady like Layce is taken from us too soon that I just can't make any sense of death.  That is why photography is so important for recording our lives.  You have some beautiful pictures of her. 

I'll see what I can do about sending a donation to her son, Christian's trust fund.  Also it will be important to keep posting in this thread awhile to get the sad news out there.

My prayers go out to her family especially her son Christian.

I am very sorry to hear that.  It will be very hard on her son, and I wish him the best.  Hopefully he has lots of family to help with his loss.
