Mike Parker’s Funeral Costs

If you have never experienced a sudden, tragic loss, consider yourself lucky, blessed, and possibly not human. If you have never experienced a sudden, tragic loss that has left your heart completely broken and your brain desperately worried about how you are going to live financially, as well as give your loved one the send-off they deserve, consider yourself extremely lucky and extremely blessed.

Neither of those are the case with the passing of Mike Parker; genuine, devoted, and loving husband of Karen Vesk.

Mike loved to help others and do anything he could for anyone. And there is no truer statement than when it came to his wife, Karen. Mike passed away from a very sudden and unexpected heart attack at the age of 58, leaving his friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors in total shock and heartbreak. However, none of the feelings of any of his loved ones can compare to the devastation and desperation that his loving wife, Karen, is now facing.

We all know that awf​ul feeling of helplessness present within us every time we are faced with someone we care about who is grieving. There is not much we can do. There is not much we can say. And there is nothing more that we want but to help our loved one in their time of grieving.

This sudden loss of Mike has left Karen very worried about what her stable, normal life, will become. The very least that we who loved Mike or cares about Karen could do is help to ease the financial stress of giving Mike the final farewell that he deserves.

No donation to this community effort is too small; truly, anything will help. And even if you don’t know Mike or Karen, please know that they would be the very first people to see a fundraiser such as this and donate.

If a monetary donation isn’t possible, please send a sincere prayer for my dear friend, Karen as she struggles to find comfort in this heartbreaking loss.
