Brother's Final resting place

Donation protected
This is Robert Towne. My brother.   We were all seperated after our father died over 20+ years. (I was only 8). Several of us were reunited only  five years ago. We were strangers but we learned a lot about each other in this short time, shared memories of our father, and stories about our lives growing up, all the struggles and things we missed, and adventures and travels that "Boston Bob"-(is what many of his friends called him), took.   And less than a year ago, we found out Bob had stage 4 cancer.. Squamis cell carcinoma in his neck and cancer in his lungs. The Drs were still hopeful as the radiation and chemo took the cancer out of his neck and shrunk some of the spots in his lungs to find out about a month ago, it actually spread even further.   The cancer was now in his brain. We were all scared, Not more scared than he. He had other sisters and brothers, on top of the 7 of us we knew about, there were more that we were unaware of, that were starting to reunite with him!   The last few weeks, bob was struggling to breathe, he was put on an oxygen tank, he was back and forth to the hospital.  Nobody prepared for this day. We all thought he still had time.   But on February 2nd, you didn't wake up. You left us.   Bob, I am so happy we got to "meet" you, and we have learned a lot about you, you were creative, and adventurous, and you were full of so much love.  You are our brother, and we will always love you. Bob wasn't able to keep his life insurance and We were left  to take care of his final expenses and wishes.  So I was able to get Bob's funeral expenses taken cared of, Im not asking for that. But, with help, it was all we had. Bob's wishes were to be cremated and brought to his Dad's grave.  Bob resided in Tennessee. Our Dad's grave resides in Massachussetts.  We plan to make this trip when the weather is warmer, So, Im asking for your help to raise the money for all of us to go.    Even if it is a few dollars, anything will help!! We really want to do this final thing for Bob, and it will help us all with our final goodbyes and be able to close this chapter of his life.  Thank you so much!! Please share!! and God Bless!!
