For those of you who haven't heard, my world was shaken for the 2nd time in less than 3 months on March 23rd when, while performing a wellness check, my son found my oldest brother, Ernie Lenard Marshall, deceased.

As anyone who has dealt with unexpected death can attest, this has been a difficult reality to process. To add to our emotional strain, my niece was unable to locate any proof of insurance coverage.

I know many of you will feel disdain at the thought of us reaching out for assistance with an event for which everyone should have adequate preparation; but, when said preparation is non-existent, it's the family that remains who have to bear the burden of sending our loved one off to eternal rest. I humbly ask those of you who can and will, click on the link to help us reach our goal for my brother's final farewell.
