‘Ann was truly one of a kind, and she will be deeply missed.’
Garrett added that Daniloski also suffered ‘severe injuries’ in the crash and that his relatives have launched a fundraising page to support him.Â
‘We know Ann would have wanted nothing more than to ensure Brian is cared for during this difficult time, and we are deeply grateful for any donations,’ he said.Â
The fundraising page said their vehicle had been written off by the accident.Â
‘The van has been totaled, and a significant amount of money has been lost,’ the page reads.Â
‘This GoFundMe is a small way that we can support Brian and help him get back on his feet during this extremely trying time.Â
‘Brian and Ann’s pure love for each other should serve as an inspiration to us all to stand with, and for, the ones who mean so much to us.’
Mourners had donated more than $45,000 via the page as of Tuesday afternoon.Â
