A GoFundMe has been set up to cover funeral costs.

"With Aurelia being only 7 weeks old, Halee was a stay at home mom while Cole worked his heart out to provide for the family they created. With this being said, I am asking friends, family and strangers to please help Halee during this difficult time while she grieves and gets the strength to provide for her daughter" reads part of the GoFundMe description, organized by Paulsen's soon-to-be mother in law.
