Hard, hard news 2/23/25

Hi friends,
Jason died a little after 7:00 tonight, surrounded by me and the kids, in the serenity of Hospice Austin's Christopher House. The last minutes of his life were truly beautiful, memories I will hold close forever. We're so glad this last, hard part of his cancer journey is over—and we miss him so very much.
We'd like to focus on time together as a family, and I respectfully ask that you don't offer to visit for the next several days. You're welcome to reach out via text, email, or social media, and I know you'll understand that while I won't be able to personally respond to most messages, I appreciate them all.
Our fridge is currently full, but we'll be getting out information about how to help with food within the next couple of days.
Memorial service details coming soon.
I love you all. Thank you for loving Jason and our whole family so well.
