Help Larry Gilliland's Family with Funeral and Housing Costs

Donation protected
Dear family, friends and to all those of you who know Larry Gilliland

My name is Judith and I'm the sister In-law of Larry Gilliland. Larry was admitted to the hospital on Saturday, October 14th because he was in pain and unable to talk. What started out as a supposed knee infection turned out to be bacterial Meningitis, which spread furiously through his body. Unfortunately my brother In-law has undergone multiple surgeries, including a brain surgery, to remove the infection from his body however the Infection continues to spread, and any other surgeries will now be cancelled. His wife of 35-years has to make the final decision today to remove his life support. Larry was the family's primary source of income and will be leaving behind a loving, devoted wife, two daughters and four beautiful grandchildren one of which he was raising. Our family has looked into the expenses and we are needing to raise funds to ensure funeral costs are covered in addition to leaving something behind for his wife and grandchildren. With Larry's passing his wife and grandchild will lose their housing and will need additional financial help moving forward. If you could please donate or share this post anything would be appreciated. We are beyond devastated to fathom the pain our family is enduring and will continue to endure for our lifetime. Larry was the family's bright light. He was gregarious, fun and also his wife and his Mother's rock. Please keep them in your prayers, and hold those you care about close, never missing a chance to tell your loved ones what they mean to you. In just a week the family has lost a very beloved Son, partner, brother, grandfather, and best friend. Love each other like it's your last moments.
Thank you,
