GRANITE CITY — During the late hours of August 3, 2024, to the early hours of August 4, 2024, the lives of many were irrevocably altered after a tragic motorcycle crash near Pontoon Beach. Meghan Lance, along with Nicko Lance, is spearheading a fundraiser to support the immediate expenses following the tragic loss of community members Cole and Morgan Whitford.
The sudden passing of Cole and Morgan Whitford has left their family not only handling profound grief, but also managing the practicalities of funeral expenses and bills. To assist with these immediate financial burdens, a trust has been established in the names of their daughters, Remington and Emersyn Whitford. Contributions to this fund can be made through any FCB Bank or directly via the Irwin Funeral Home.
