Assist with Franklin Hanners' Burial Costs

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my names Bristan. But I'm not here to talk about me. I'm here to talk about Franklin G Hanners.

At about 1am Wednesday October 16th 2024, Franklin had a massive heart attack at his home in benton harbor. Frank had a procedure done and a Stent put in, but the next day within two hours of each of each other he went into cardiac arrest twice more. We had high hopes. Anyone who knows Frank knows he was as stubborn as he was kind, laughed way more than he cried and cared for all. Frank was a family man who raised his son Jonathan with his wife Susan until her passing in 2021. He almost managed to reach his 68th birthday next week. Before this Frank was undergoing chemotherapy after graduating radiation therapy for colorectal cancer.

As a family we have decided to take Franklin off of life support this evening October 18th 2024 after his family has been able to say their final goodbyes. As this is so sudden.. we haven't had time to plan anything. We would like to cremate him and bury himself and his wife together finally in their conjoined plots, finalizing their reunion in heaven by committing them to the ground together. Side by side.

Franklin is a post Vietnam Army veteran. However wasn't established for much help before this, unfortunately. This came as a shock to all of us, as he had a turn around in health. We are asking for your help and support for cremation and burial costs for Franklin. Anything helps, even a share, a prayer or a good thought sent our way. We appreciate all the love and support coming our way in this time of need.
Thank you.
