Ursula's Promise Memorial Scholarship Fund
We take pride in helping people make a difference in the lives of others.
Our Story
On September 9, 2022 our family's life as we knew it changed forever, because it would no longer include our dear sister Ursula Regina Bristow. On that day, she left this place called earth and we pray accepted her wings and landed in heaven. Out of that pain and grief Ursula’s Promise Memorial Scholarship Fund was birthed.
Ursula was a loving daughter, sister, mother, grandparent and friend. She was always willing to pull someone in need up, regardless of their circumstances. This Scholarship Fund was established to honor and preserve her legacy of being a selfless lifetime giver. The light that shined within her will live on forever through this special scholarship fund.
