Dear concerned friends and family, like many of you, when I received this tragic news yesterday I was shocked and wanted to do whatever I could to help this family and their loved ones. I feel that it is necessary for me to tell you who I am and how I know them so that you are comfortable with donating. My name is Judi Daughenbaugh Tackett and I was born and raised in Ridgway. My parents owned the Summit on Boot Jack and were neighbors to the Klines for many years. Rhonda babysat my son for several years and her entire family always treated him as family. Our families have been friends for many years.
I have been in constant contact with the family and requested permission to begin this campaign and made arrangements for them to have access to these funds immediately.
I will be posting updates and other opportunities to help on this campaign as they are shared with me. The family wishes to express their gratitude for your overwhelming response and generosity.
