The Spotfund for Alice will officially close this Saturday. The final purchase made through these generous donations will be her headstone—a lasting tribute to the joy she brought us.
We are so grateful to everyone who attended Alice’s celebration of life and to those who gave to help ease the burden on Kendell and Cole during an unimaginably difficult time. Your support has meant more than words can say.
For those who weren’t able to attend in person, a recording of the service is available here:

Alice Joy was born on July 29th at 6:16 a.m. She was beautiful.
The sound of her soft coos will forever echo in our hearts.
Surrounded by complete love, she passed peacefully in the arms of her parents at 11:47 p.m.
Alice fought hard to give us the gift of a full day on this side of heaven, and we are deeply grateful for every minute with her. All she ever knew was love—and in return, she gave us immeasurable joy.
In her final act of grace, Alice became an organ donor, continuing a legacy of love that mirrors the generosity, compassion, and kindness at the very core of her parents.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 2nd at Center Point Church in North Richland Hills from 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Fellowship will begin at 1:00, with the service starting at 2:00.
We hope you will join us to honor and celebrate Alice’s life.
Please wear florals and bright colors in tribute to the beauty and joy she brought into the world.

Kendell is now in the final trimester with baby Alice.
We are deeply grateful for the love and support we've received as we prepare to welcome Alice into the world — and also prepare our hearts to say goodbye.
This is a sacred and bittersweet season for our family, and your kindness means more than we can express.
We also appreciate your continued financial support, especially as it helps cover the cost of therapy during this time.
Thank you for walking with us.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of this community, we have reached our goal to cover the medical and funeral expenses for the Bruner family. Your support, prayers, and kindness have meant the world during this heartbreaking time.
While the initial goal has been met, we will be keeping the fundraiser open for anyone who would like to continue donating. Ongoing contributions will go toward therapy and supporting Kendell on her journey of healing and staying at home.
