Hello. I’m Dee Dee Lewis.
Today (Sunday, March 30, 2025) at 9:30 a.m., a young, beautiful mother of three tragically lost two of her boys, ages 2 (a twin) and 1, in a house fire while her surviving 2-year-old son is clinging to life.
It’s never easy losing your children, and it’s a pain that will never ease. Jayden and Xander will be greatly missed. With powerful prayers, we are all holding that Kayden, the surviving child, makes it through the night.
I am asking all with hearts to give what they can to help this young mother with proper burial arrangements for her two precious babies and to help her with any expenses that she may need a little help with for medical expenses for her surviving baby boy.
