Freddie Franco funeral, memorial & medical expense

My love, my best friend, my everything, Freddie Franco (Fast Freddie) went home to be with Lord yesterday afternoon. He had fought so, so very long with all if his medical problems. His heart just couldn't keep doing it. 

Freddie had a love for life, a love for music, humor, sporting events, and most of all for his family and friends. And when it came to Freddie, he never just had friends. If you were his friend, you were his family. 

He loved our God and Savior Jesus Christ! It is a very hard time for myself and our family, but we take comfort in knowing he is home with our Lord. He is now with his dad & uncles, my brother, & our niece, & his best friend, just to name a few. And he is whole again, no longer hurting, no longer tired, & the first thing he would see when he once again was blessed with his sight would be our Lord & Savior. 

Because of his many medical issues, diabetes, kidney failure, heart disease, etc., we were not able to get life insurance for him. Since I retired, the benefit I had hoped I would get from work to cover his services is now close to nothing. It won't even cover a casket. And although majority of his medical was covered by his Medicare & my health insurance, he still had other medical bills that are not. 

All of his friends & prayer warriors he had everywhere meant so much to him. He loved each & everyone of you. You helped give him that strength to keep pushing on. He loved watching & supporting all the kids & local teams. It broke his heart so much these past years that he couldn't cheer you all on like he used to. 

It pains me to have to ask for help for him, but he deserves so much! Anything will help and I will be eternally grateful to you. 

My heart, my life will never be the same without him. We had so many plans left to do but I know we were blessed with such a great life together & many memories in our so short 17 years of marriage. I know he knew I loved him, and I know he loved me. We never said it enough, I don't think now it can ever be said enough, but we knew!

Thank you so much for all your prayers for him over the past years. 

Thank you for considering to help give him his final goodbye and assistance.

God has given me the strength to get through all we have had to face. I know He will continue to do so & to help me through this difficult time.
