Baby Jayce will be adopted by a close relative. The goal of the GoFundMe campaign is to assist Jayce through this trying time and aid in that process.
The GoFundMe’s organizer, Kelly Ridle, posted a Facebook status about these challenging losses. She thought of Clayton, one of her kids’ friends, as another of her boys.
“Our hearts hurt for everyone, but particularly for baby Jayce, who would never understand what a great, funny, and kind man his father was.
Or how much Clayton loved and cherished Jayce and his mother,” she remarked in reference to receiving the heartbreaking news.
Then the unimaginable occurred. Bob contacted me two days later to inform me that Jayce’s lovely mother Victoria, Clayton’s love, had left us in the same way to be with Clayton.
“The loss is intense and agonizing. Children shouldn’t have to be buried by their parents. You should ask your closest buddies and brothers for help.
Infants should be surrounded by their parents’ affection as they grow up. I have seen more grace, love, compassion, prayers being answered,
And even what seems like a few miracles this week than I could have ever imagined among those left behind, however, my friends,
In spite of this terrible circumstance. We will always be connected to Jayce and each other,” she said. “Raising a kid requires a community. Few people are as profoundly aware of it.
As my fellow educators. Victoria and Clayton dedicated their brief careers to serving our nation and community. To raise Jayce, their families will need assistance.
