Family coping with sudden loss as holidays draw
nigh |
|
November 10, 2017 |
A young man died unexpectedly in Bonners Ferry
Thursday, leaving his wife and two children in
mourning and facing costs they should not have
to face at a time, with the holidays so close at
hand, that they should be rejoicing.
Mike Phillips, 31, leaves behind his wife,
Bonnie, and children Austin and Kayla. The
reality of what's befallen them has yet to set
in, but Bonnie's sister, Tori Rain, is asking
all the family's friends to help with funeral
costs and to help them put their lives back
together.
"I am reaching out and asking from all friends,
family and acquaintance to come together and
help me raise some money for Mike's funeral
costs, as well to help the family for a few
months while they grieve and get their mind
around everything," Tori wrote. "With Christmas
and Thanksgiving right around the corner and
Mike being the sole provider for their family,
anything really helps."
Bonnie, Austin and Kayla are staying with family
in Coeur d'Alene, and as the reality of what
happened sets in, they have been comforted by
all the prayers and kind words they are
receiving.
