Joel A. Payne  [November 24, 1943 - June 2, 2017]
Originally, I opened the account here to begin to raise money to help my Dad with his much needed dental work.  I let him review this page, but he would never approve it.  He never wanted to be an imposition to anyone, including me...

So, I am finding it difficult to write to friends & family to ask for your help in getting my Dad transported from Florida to Washington, DC for burial.  My cousin, Daniel Payne is a funeral director.   Once I get my Dad to Washington, DC, I know I will have my cousin's experience to get the funeral arrangements done with love & care.

I am an only child & unfortunately have my own financial strain at this time.  My father was living in Florida, however his entire family is in Washington, DC.  I must be able to send him home.  I believe that God will show me the way to untangle the rest of this unwanted task as we all want more time with our parents.  Logically, we know this time MUST come, but it does not stop our desire to keep them with us.

I would like to send positive vibrations & gratitude in advance to anyone who can donate.  If you cannot donate, please share on your social media platform.

Thank You So Much & May God continue to Bless you!!!
