Gregory Thompson's Funeral Expenses

My name is Alissa McConnaughhay.  I have recently lost my father in the most terrible way.  My father, Gregory Wayne Thompson, was found dead on December 5, 2015 in a creek near his home in Tulsa, OK.  The situation is left unexplained at this point.  The investigation is ongoing, so our knowledge of this horrible situation is extremely limited.  We do not have any answers and we hope and pray each day we get a phone call as to what has happened to my father.   Because of this indescribable act, I along with his brother Jeff and Jerry Biswell have been left with a situation none of us were prepared for.  A funeral and the expenses.  Not only were we not prepared, it has also come during the hardest time of the year.  We prepared his viewing, visitation, and service to the best of our ability, within limits.  Those were held December 9th and 10th.  We are now preparing to have a burial in the upcoming weeks.  We have paid forward what we can on the expenses at this time.  We have some expenses left and we are just asking that if you can help out in any kind of way, it would be appreciated so much from the bottom of my heart.  This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to write, and to find the right words is most difficult.  Words can't describe the feelings that we are burdened with because of the cruelty of some other human being(s).  My father was young, was trying so hard, had a huge heart, loved most everyone dearly, and would have done whatever he could for all of us if we would have just asked him.  I know that he had a deep faith and if we can keep faith ourselves we will get through this, but right now it's very hard with the stress of not only losing him but all of the unpaid expenses.    Again, I just want to say thank you, thank you for everything including your kind words, thoughts, and prayers.  Our sincerest gratitude.  May God bless you all.  I'm including his obituary below.
