We are planning a celebration of life for Michael Kilgore but with his unfortunate death we are lacking some funds to him not having life insurance we are reaching out to family and friends to help raise enough money to send him off with a great memorial service. Michael will be cremated but we still are in need of funds to ensure that he has a great memorial service. So far we have raised over 1,700. But is still in need of at least $2,000 to 3,000 to help us give him a good memorial service coming soon. No amount is too little to help us along. Mike was greatly loved by family and friends and a host of other people he met during his life. We are only asking due to the finances being very limited With Michael's son being disabled and no longer working. We ask if you can share this if you cannot donate and we are constantly asking for prayers and support and thank you all very much for the outpour of love & donations that we have already received prior to asking for this donation. As soon as we get enough funds gathered. Then we can get everything established to announce a memorial service date for Michael. We Want to thank you all in advance. Blessings πŸ™πŸΎπŸ’ž
