A cousin of the family set up a fund to help the family get through the tough times ahead, including the handling of life expenses and setting up a college fund for mom and the two young girls in the family. As of December 4, that fund has generated more than $70,000 for the family.

Here's how to help:

• Kevin and Emily Dalley Memorial College Fund

According to Caledonia police, a preliminary investigation revealed that a sedan and pick-up truck were traveling east on 4 Mile Rd. The sedan slowed to make a left turn into a subdivision and was rear ended by the pick-up truck.

"Kevin is my cousin and a good friend," Aaron Cleavinger wrote. "All funds will be donated directly to Jenn and the girls to use for college and life expenses. Please donate any amount if you can. If you cannot donate, hold your loved ones close and pray for Jenn, her girls, and Kevin’s family at this time."

"Kevin's wife Jennifer and daughters are surrounded by their immediate and extended families at this most difficult time," Cleavinger wrote. "The days will be long for many years, and we pray that their memories of Kevin and Emily will remain vivid and that God’s greatest peace and comfort will permeate their home and lives."
