Hi, my name is Ana, and I’m raising funds to help cover the cost of cremation and final expenses for my father, William (Billy) Aldrich who recently passed away after a long and difficult battle with cirrhosis.

To know my dad was to laugh. He had an incredible gift for humor—no matter the situation, he could always make people smile. His joy was contagious, and his presence filled every room he entered. You couldn’t forget him, and if you met him even once, chances are he left you with a story and a laugh.

He was the funniest, most joyful person I’ve ever known. Even through his illness, he held onto that light. It’s part of what made saying goodbye so difficult.

Unfortunately, the financial burden of cremation and related services has overwhelmed the family and we’re struggling to cover these expenses. Our family, wants to honor him the way he deserves, and give him the dignity and peace he earned.

If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If not, even sharing this would mean so much. Every bit of support—emotional or financial—helps us get a little closer to giving my father the farewell he deserves.

Thank you,

Ana
