“I am asking the community to help this wonderful family in their time of need, parents are never prepared to lose a child,” said Cope-Spencer.

The Romberg family Sherri, Bill, and Mitchel’s six siblings, are generous, helpful, kind people, always willing to lend a hand whenever asked and even went they aren’t.”
The raised funds will be donated to the family, to help them with the expenses of saying goodbye to their son.
