In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to Help Henry's loving wife Cheryl with funeral expenses.

Background

Thank you for reviewing this need. I am posting this with the permission of his immediate family. Henry and I had the joy of sharing five nieces and nephews. Our parents were dear friends. I loved him like a brother for as long as I can remember. I will miss him very much.
While prepared, his untimely passing will leave some minimal funeral expenses. As you may know, Henry was his loving wife's confidant and caretaker. She will have extra expenses to adjust her daily living; thus, this Ever Loved fund being set in place. Please only give if you can and just what you can. All contributions are greatly appreciated and will go towards the expenses mentioned, with any extra going directly to Cheryl for her care. Thank you to one and all. Rest in Peace, our dear friend.
