<div>Hello everybody, I’m Elijah (Marissa) Howard. Well, as you all now know, <strong>my dad, Michael Howard, passed recently on 9-15-25</strong>, and it was very, very sudden. We want to give him the proper memorial that he deserves! <strong>He is an Air Force Vietnam veteran</strong>, and my family and I are all trying to cremate him and have a memorial. Then he would be taken to the veterans' burial in Bridgeville and laid to rest. He would have his Air Force 21-shot services as well. All of what is made will be put towards that. If you want to also show my mom love, you can do so as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated. We will also be putting all the money we can towards this as well. Unfortunately, we were in the process of getting him life insurance before his passing, and the veterans can't do upfront payments; they can only reimburse, and that’s if he qualifies. So, this was my next option. <strong>I just want to help take any stress off my mom.</strong> They have been together for 38 years; that’s a long time to lose in a second. If you can, thank you. If you can’t but share, thank you! Anything helps. Thank you all so much for even reading, sharing, or donating. I forgot to mention that we are trying to shoot for next Saturday for the memorial.
