February 19th changed our lives forever. Our father, my mother's husband for 40 years, entered the gates of heaven. It was very sudden and unexpected. My dad was known by many; growing up, he was pops to all of our friends and neighborhood kids. He was a hard worker and worked every day until he could not. He was happily married to our mom for 40 years! He loved all 3 of his kids and all of his grandkids with all his heart! He is missed dearly!!

Since this was so sudden, we were, of course, not financially prepared for this. My dad had a wish of being cremated and for some of his ashes to be spread over the ocean! We also want to have a nice memorial for him where everyone can go and celebrate his life one last time! We also want to get him a nice, beautiful urn and beautiful keepsakes. We also would like for my mom to not have to go back to work for a good amount of time so she can grieve!

If you can financially help, we would appreciate every and anything that you can. If you cannot financially help, we absolutely understand; we would appreciate a prayer just as much! Thank you, everyone.
