For those of you who know me, you know how much my Opa (Virgil) meant to me. His life was defined by his generosity and his ability to put others first. He had a rare gift for making people feel seen, supported, and uplifted, whether through a joke to brighten a day, guidance in a difficult moment, or simply being there when someone needed him. Those who knew him remember a man who lived with quiet integrity, laughter, and a profound care for others. His presence, generosity, and spirit will remain with all who were fortunate enough to know him.

As his great-granddaughter, I want to honor him with a meaningful farewell, but I need some help to cover the funeral expenses. The funds raised here will go directly toward funeral expenses, helping us give my Opa the farewell he deserves. Any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, would mean so much to our family during this difficult time. Thank you for helping us honor his memory and keep his spirit alive in our hearts.
