Never did I imagine I would have to plan my dad's burial in the midst of planning his 60th birthday, which would have been this November. As this has been unexpected, I was not fully prepared to lay my dad down to rest because he had so much more fight left in him, but cancer had other plans.

I've been asked how people can help, and this would help me celebrate my dad's life as well as care for my mom just as my dad did.
