My father was 71 years old and, while he could be stubborn, he loved his three daughters and his grandchildren with all his heart. He passed away early in the morning at St. Francis Hospital from double pneumonia. Losing him has been incredibly hard for our family, especially after the rough few years we’ve already faced. He was the kind of person who always put his family first, and his love and support meant everything to us.

We want to honor his wishes by giving him a natural burial, something that was important to him and to our family. Unfortunately, the costs for a natural burial are more than we can manage on our own right now. We are reaching out to our community for help so we can give him the peaceful farewell he deserves. Any support, no matter the amount, will make a difference and help ease the burden on our family during this difficult time.

Thank you for considering helping us remember and honor my dad. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to us as we try to give him the respectful and loving goodbye he deserves.
