This GoFundMe is to help my grandpa pay for the funeral service of my grandma. Since he has been retired for 25 years and worked for minimum wage most of his life, he is in need of financial help after the passing of my grandma on Friday, September 5th. He had some life insurance policies, but they are not enough to cover the costs. Please give as you can, as the Lord lays it on your heart. Thank you all. I have attached her obituary below, in loving memory of such an amazing woman.
