As many of you know, a great man and a great entertainer was called home Monday December 28th. The truth is our family and friends are hurting severely, but reality is life must go on. However, before we began the healing process we have to send Ron Ford home, and my prayer is to do in a honorable fashion. We hate asking anybody for anything, but in this case options are few. We are seeking help only with funeral arrangements due to the fact my father was to sick to be eligible for a life insurance plan. The goal number of $5,000 was just a price I saw online for the average funeral with a headstone. We want our father to have a HEADSTONE. His mother did not have one which has prevented us from visiting her grave site. I never want to lose my father, so if at all possible please help us send Ron Ford home with the dignity and integrity he shared with all of us.
