Background
Merlin's death was unexpected, and we don't have the funds we need to pay for his funeral. Dad had thought he had a very small life insurance policy that he hoped would help us if we ever needed to pay for his funeral expenses, but since he'd recently been experiencing some extreme financial trouble, he'd had to borrow against it, so now it isn't worth anywhere near the original face value. Anything donated will be used to offset funeral costs. Thank you so much to everyone in advance for your support.

Funds are being collected and disbursed by Jenny Gerdes, Merlin's daughter.
