My name is Stefanie Turnbull. On April 7th 2025 my daddy Bob Eardensohn unexpectedly passed away at 66 years old to join his beloved wife cindy. My parents were married 40 long years. The past 5 years without her was so hard on him he loved and missed her deeply. After only 11 years of marriage and 2 children my mother cindy was in a tragic car accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down which required her to remain in a 24 hour nursing facility the rest of her life. THAT DID NOT STOP HIM! Every single day he went to see her for almost 30 years till she passed. She still remained his number one priority. He was there to feed her every meal and to spend many hours reading the bible and devotions with her. Rain or shine it didnt matter even sometimes walking miles just to reach her he never left her side. all while doing so he was battling his own health issues. My dad was on dialysis almost 30 long years. Although, he never complained and was always worried about everyone around him. After she passed he filled his time in the church, he absoultly loved going to the nursing homes to read the bible to the residents. Spreading the word of GOD was so important to him. I had a conversation with him about a year ago he explained to me his wishes after death. He told me he wanted me to take his and my moms ashes out to the ocean and spread them at sea. I promised him i would. Unfortunately my dad never had much to save. He spent most of his life on social security disability which barely as you know was enough to cover his bills. He had little to nothing at his passing to cover his cremation. This fundraiser is to help with all cremation and funeral home cost. It will also go towards renting a boat and whatever costs there are to make sure his final wishes are granted. Thank you to everyone that finds it in their hearts to help Us at this time.
