Robert Reeves Funeral Fund

Donation protected
My grandfather, Robert Reeves, Sr. passed away on Monday morning, January 2nd. He was 84 years old and preceded in death by his wife Jeanette. I set up this GoFundMe as a way anyone moved to can help my mom, Diana Edward, with the expenses of her father's funeral. My mom cared for my grandpa & grandma Reeves during the last 10 years of their lives, after she moved them from California to live with her in Albany, Oregon. My mom, a single mother, has always known hard work and joyfully cared for others at her own expense.

The last few years has found my mom un-employed or under-employed and finances have been tight for her. In the last year, my grandpa Reeves was transitioned over to Medicaid to recieve state assistance to cover his increased medical and housing costs at the assisted-living facility he had recently moved into. This transition to Medicaid absorbed his retirement, social security income, and most other assests he had. Grandpa Reeves recently took a turn for the worst and went downhill rapidly; he died only a few weeks after being given a 6-months-to-live prognosis. So now my mom finds herself rushed to come up with the funds for an immediate burial, during an already trying time in her life financially.

Please join with me in helping to ease her financial burden by contributing any amount you feel led to. Thankfully, Olson's Funeral Chapel in Sweet Home, Oregon have been really gracious and worked out low price to accomodate my mom's current situation. The loss of a family member and a father is always terribly sad, more so when compounded by financial stress. Thank you for taking time to read and consider this request!

Wth great humility,
Lee Edward
