Losing my dad has been one of the hardest things our family has ever faced, along with losing my mom just six weeks prior. He was deeply loved. And while we are still grieving and honoring his memory, the financial burden of funeral expenses has been overwhelming.

We never imagined we would be in a position where we needed to ask for help. But the cost associated with his funeral, burial and final arrangements are more than we can manage alone right now.

If you knew my dad, you knew his kindness, his strength, and the way he would help anyone without hesitation. We wanted to give him the peaceful and dignified goodbye he deserved. He was a Marine, who fought in the Vietnam War, and had a well deserved military goodbye.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean more than words can express. And if you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would help tremendously.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers and support during one of the most difficult times we have ever faced.
