Crystal, my wife, passed away on 17 September after a stroke. She was 64 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $6,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 September. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Crystal to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank. Where the $6,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550 • Transport of the deceased: $530 • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Wesley
