With a heavy heart, I am reaching out for support during a difficult time. My beloved father, Keith Thompson (dadio), has passed away Saturday night, and I am now faced with the financial hardship of his cremation and related expenses, but also want to have a very special coordination of life. Unfortunately, dadio only had SSDI and no savings or insurance to help with this, and this year has been financially hard for us.

While we are still grieving, we are doing everything we can to honor his memory and ensure he is laid to rest with dignity and respect.

If you knew my dad, you’d know that he was a lover of music, shrimp scampi and his guitar. You would often see him playing his guitar and singing out loud (he would actually call it "geetar" pickin'), no matter where he was. He could be the life of the party, yet needed lots of time alone to be creative. He was funny, smart, and knew every song or band you couldn't remember. He has touched many lives with his words, music, and wit.

We humbly ask for any contributions, big or small, to help us cover the costs. Your support would mean the world to us and help ease the burden during this challenging time.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity as we say our final goodbyes. Please share this campaign with others who may wish to help.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Shanna
