My name is Brittnee, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart. Watching my cousin Terrell mourn the loss of her soul-mate, Crystal Gamez, who tragically passed away on March 15, 2025, has been both heart-wrenching and sobering. They shared a bond and a love that was truly once in a lifetime—a bond that deserves to be respected and honored, not just by their loved ones but by the entire community of McNaughton/Rhinelander WI.

Their life together, spanning 17 wonderful years, was built on mutual respect, love, and shared goals. They opened their hearts and home to everyone around them. Now, as Terrell tries to navigate her new normal, burdened by grief, she faces the unimaginable: Crystal’s family is attempting to take away everything they built together. The harassment and negativity is escalating, threatening to dismantle the remnants of the life they cherished.

The heart of the matter involves influencing the judge and probate to recognize and respect Terrell’s rightful claims to the life she shared with Crystal. This is not just about possessions; it is about the memories, the love, and the life that they built as partners. It is about allowing Terrell to hold onto those cherished memories without fear of losing them to greed and malice.

We are a strong and close-knit community. Let's come together to support Terrell in her fight to preserve the little things that remain of her shared life with Crystal. Sign this petition to show that McNaughton stands firmly behind Terrell, advocating for justice and fairness in this trying time. Together, we can help ensure that love, and not greed, prevails. Please support this petition with your signature and help influence the decision-makers to do what is RIGHT!
