Please help us lay my grandfather to his final resting place

Hello everybody. My name is Sean Miller. On Saturday December 7th, 2024, we lost my grandfather Raymond F Kudel. He passed away suddenly after a fall he experienced. Now my family and I are trying to come up with the money for cremation, and some bills that my grandmother is now having hardship covering. We are not the type of people to ever ask for a handout, so this is extremely hard for us to even create, but we are running out of options, and my grandmother is struggling to figure everything out.

my grandfather was 86 years old, he almost made it to 87 years old if he would have lived until January 1st, 2025. My grandmother called me after he tripped and fell to help him get up. Unfortunately when I got there, he was already gone and did not respond to my touch, or voice. He was an army reserve veteran. He was a hard worker who always provided for his kids and wife. He was a good husband who always came through for his wife. He was a good grandfather who taught me more than my father did. Him and my late uncle were my father figures, not my actual father. Now they both are together again. Nothing and no-one is perfect in this world, but they did their absolute best for me, and those around me, and I learned a lot through them I will never forget. He spent his final day with his family, as he spent it celebrating my daughter’s 7th birthday, which my daughter was one of his favorite people.

Raymond F Kudel
