Richard to Rest

Donation protected


This is for Krissy, devoted daughter of Richard and Anna Baumgartner.  Richard (also known as Uncle Dick) was a family man and served his country in the Army for 6 years, stationed in Hawaii, which he loved.   Anna passed away from Alzeimers 16 years ago.  
Kris devoted her life to taking care of her mom when she got sick, and then caring for her dad.  He had congestive heart failure for several years and lived with a pacemaker the past 17 years. He was a fighter and came back from a stroke several years ago.   But this latest battle was more than he could win.  Richard had been taken to the hospital after falling. To sum it up he had a bad heart, failed kidneys, failed lungs, and double pneumonia. He was sent to ICU where he was put on a ventilator and dialysis machine. Doing everything Krissy was able to do for her father but, also keep Uncle Dick's wishes.  He was moved to hospice care when it was evident his time was near and he passed shortly thereafter.
Unfortunately, he was too sick to get affordable life insurance, so Kris needs help paying for his funeral and burial expenses.  Kris was raised catholic, so to have a proper catholic burial would mean the world to her.  She was extremely close to her father, being the last immediate family she has. So if we could raise the funds quickly it would be very much appreciated.  Any little bit you would consider giving would be a blessing.
