For those of you who knew my father, you knew that his love for family and love for friends guided and spanned all aspects and roles in his life. As he battled his own lung cancer for the past two years, he remained fully committed to caring for those around him including his mother and our whole family…and Quinn was never far from his heart.
The photo above is Pop and Lucas helping Quinn to recover his motor skills following the surgery to remove his medulloblastoma brain tumor in 2017. Pop and Grammy showed Quinn their deep, unconditional love every step of the way and Quinn had a very special bond with Pop - a friendship that unfortunately ended too soon.
Pop has always wanted nothing more than for Quinn to beat his cancer. He has asked that the family and friends that he loved so much and those that love our family make donations to St. Jude in his memory. We believe that we are in the very best place in the entire world for Quinn’s care. Pop will be missed but his love for family, friends and The Mighty Quinn will live on eternally.
St Jude Children’s Research Hospital:
Your generous donation and loving thoughts are a light of hope to St. Jude children and their families. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
It costs a lot for St. Jude to cure a child with cancer using the latest technologies and care. But because of donations, the price for patient families is $0. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything.
Many families come to St. Jude thinking it's like any other hospital. They expect to pay high fees to get their child the best care. They're overwhelmed with gratitude when they learn St. Jude works to save their child's life for free using world-class care.
Your donations make this possible and give parents hope.
