Help for Michael Sheppard's family

A dear friend of mine, Denise Holland, lost her son Michael Sheppard (a former US Navy Seabee) on July 19, 2014. I do not know the details, nor are they important at this time. This will not be the place for rumors or negativity. Looking for assistance to help in bringing Michael home and assisting with travel and everyday expenses during this time to help alleviate some of the turmoil.
