Tonya is raising funds to bring Heather Ann Lang home after her sudden passing at just 32 years old. Heather Ann Lang had struggled with schizophrenia since suffering head trauma at 16, and in August 2025, medication changes after living in Minnesota led to significant heart issues. The medical examiner confirmed that Heather died from an enlarged heart that suddenly stopped. Tonya also carries the deep belief that Heather died of a broken heart after losing her baby sister, Haley. This loss has left Tonya and her family devastated, grieving yet another daughter and trying to find a way through unimaginable heartbreak.
The funds from this fundraiser will help cover the transportation needed to bring Heather Ann Lang from Rochester, Minnesota back home to Oakville, Missouri, where she will be buried beside her sister Haley. Donations will also help with funeral arrangements, a headstone, and the time Tonya must take away from work to manage everything during this painful time. Tonya is the financial provider for her family, and being out of work while handling this loss adds even more strain. Any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, would be deeply appreciated. Hearts do swell, as Heather’s did, but this family’s hearts are shattered and they need help bringing her home.
