Veteran Burial Fund

Dennis Lee Badger, a U.S. Army veteran, who served from 1977-1985 and is the eldest brother of my loving wife, Valerie Griffin, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly Wednesday Jan. 24th at his home in Mattoon Illinois. It is most unfortunate Dennis was diagnosed with Myotonic Dystrophy about 10 years ago and became permanently disabled and unable to work. He had no life insurance policy or other means to cover the cost of a proper funeral or burial service. Dennis had a live in girlfriend of 20 years who is also permanently disabled and has no means of providing for herself now that Dennis has passed so she cannot afford any of the costs. We are asking for the sake of a U.S. veteran and his longtime companion for donations to cover funeral expenses and a small amount to carry Dianne over for just a short time until we can figure out her situation. Please, if you can assist at all we greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
