Story
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Merissa Long, who left this world far too soon on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Allen Hospital. Merissa was only 22 years old, yet her beautiful soul touched the hearts of everyone who knew her. She was a loving daughter, a cherished sister, a devoted aunt, a supportive friend, and a bright light in our lives. The news of her unexpected departure has left our family shattered as we grapple with the unimaginable pain of losing a child.
No parent should ever have to bear the heartache of burying their child, and in this difficult time, we are reaching out to our community for support. We are overwhelmed by the unexpected costs associated with Merissa’s funeral and burial, and we humbly ask for your help to ease this burden. We are fundraising to cover essential expenses, including funeral home fees, burial plot costs, and a headstone that honors her memory.
Any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in providing Merissa with the dignified send-off she deserves. If you are unable to contribute financially, we deeply appreciate your prayers and support during this time of grief. Sharing this campaign with your friends and family means more to us than you can imagine.
Thank you for your generosity and compassion. Your kindness will help us navigate this profound loss, and we are forever grateful for your support.
