Assist with James Roy Patterson's Burial Costs

Hello, I am Summer Payne , the granddaughter of a great man James Roy Patterson who unexpectedly passed away after a heart attack and being placed on life support. He went in to the hospital for a simple dehydration issue and went into full cardiac arrest and did not survive. My grandmother, who was his wife of 58 years and full time caretaker is completely devastated. He had struggled with health complications since his triple bypass in 2010 and continued to fight as hard as he could through home dialysis, diabetes, heart issues and much more. Losing a loved one is never easy and around the holidays it’s even worse. The financial burden only adds to the immense emotional stress and grief my mother and grandmother are feeling right now. He was a tremendous father, husband, grandpa, and great grandpa. We do not know a life without him and it’s extremely difficult to navigate everything at this time. Anything helps, his wishes were for a graveside burial and as you know funeral expenses are astronomical. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read, share or donate.
