Last Goodbye

Frank, my only sibling, passed away last week from an aggressive kind of cancer.  Because he was a bit of an introvert, he kept his illness, like most other things, private. I did not see this coming.
 
His significant other Karen has been by his side nearly 40 years (the love of his life). Frank's last place of employment has offered to host a small private gathering this coming weekend.

Roundtrip airfare is roughly $800.  Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks in advance.
C. Denise Johnson.
