Funeral Service for Daddy

Donation protected
Please help fund a funeral service for my Daddy. He unexpectedly passed away Nov 9, 2014 after only living 47 years. My dad served in the United States Marines so he will be buried in a National Cemetery at no cost. My dad was honorably discharged and continued on his federal service with the Smithsonian. My dad was a jokester and an undeniably hilarious man. He quite often granted levity in a time of misunderstanding. I looked up to my dad and followed in his footsteps. I joined the Army five days after I graduated highschool, I served five years and was honorably discharged in August 2014. I am blessed to have made it back home to spend these last couple of months seeing and laughing with my father. I am at an age where your parents start to become more than a parent but a friend. I wish i could send my dad home like the hero he is in my eyes. However since his death is not service connected my sister and I have to pay for the funeral services. My dad left no insurance policy so the financial burden is heavy. I did not know at 23 years old I would lose the man who raised me to be a proud woman. If anyone could help my sister and I send my dad home we would be inexplicably grateful. Thank you.
