It’s never easy to have to bury a loved one but it’s especially hard, emotionally and physically when your loved one passes unexpectedly without insurance.  Renaldo Rapheal Close affectionately known as “Raffie”, died unexpectedly at age 43 and just days before his death he was working on a car to give to one of his daughters for her 16th birthday  in March. He received his wings way too soon, leaving behind a wife, children and grand babies so young that will never know just how loving he was. His 5 girls will never have their Dad there to see them graduate or receive their High School Diplomas and His sons will not have their dad see them get married and be a granddad to their children. When his wife Shelia suffered a stroke just a few years ago and was unable to work, he was right there to care for her while making sure he still walked his kids to school, combed his girls hair and ironed their clothes, always nurturing and providing care and support. Now, it’s our turn to take care of him by providing a final resting place for a precious loved one taken way too soon and so unexpectedly. All funds will go towards Funeral and Burial arrangements and prayerfully we will exceed the goal for the necessary Funeral expenses and be able to provide support to his family.  If you lived in the Inland Empire or High Desert you may have had the pleasure of having Raffie work on your car or enjoying His delicious BBQ and sauce or just stopping by his place and enjoying his company. If not, we would still love for you to show your support and even if you can’t donate, please share so we can meet and exceed our goal for these expenses. Thank you in advance for your kind words and donations of any amount and sharing this post in this time of need. God bless you and your families as well during this  Pandemic and any difficult times you may be facing as well.
