This fund is for my cousin Lisa. As some may know on January 15th, she lost her husband Jim after his almost 4-year battle with a major stroke. The past 4 years have been very tough for Lisa, physically and mentally, providing around-the-clock care for Jim. She refused to put him in a home. After 41 years together, she has lost her best friend and the love of her life and is starting over. I just want to help support her any way I can.

I wanted to start this fund to help ease the financial burden of this. Money should be the last thing someone grieving should have to worry about. A majority of the fund will go to his cremation costs and other end of life expenses related to that. Jim wasn't one for being the center of attention and didn't want a funeral or services - please feel free to share any memories, stories or photos you may have.

I understand times are tough for most of us, any donation amount or share is hugely appreciated.

Rest in Peace Jim, we miss you.
