Help the Whitaker’s with Mike’s final expenses

Donation protected

The Whitaker family has suffered a tragic, unexpected loss with the loss of Mike, aka “Poppy”. Mike was an avid racer, nostalgic car man that loved with all of his being!! He never met a stranger and loved all children dearly!! Mike was Santa at Piper Lights for years, he loved every minute of it!! Even when the to candy store was closed due to Covid last year he was walking around as Santa because in his words “these children have gone through enough, they will get to see Santa”!! I have personally experienced his love as well as Shirley’s as they have been Nannie and Poppy to my Abigail since she was born!! Unfortunately Mike did not have any insurance to help with his final expenses and to help his beloved wife and best friend get through this life changing loss. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and would go directly to final expenses and needs of the family!
