Burial Expense Fund for Walter Kempton

I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this time in my life. I appreciate the condolences and the sorry for your losses from everyone. But my loss isn’t what hurts me the most and makes me the saddest. It’s that the children I have yet to have will never know the man and person who had the greatest impact and influence on my life. They will only ever know him through pictures and stories. They will never experience the love he had to share with his family. And he them. They will never get to hear his incessant humming. Or the things he said while we were growing up in only the voice he did.  This is very hard for me because I don’t have the resources to pay for this by myself. My brother has been unable to work since July 2017 due to an accident that he is still waiting for surgery to get fixed. My sister is unemployed at the moment. My dad had no life insurance and very little savings. And until very recently we always thought there was more time. But there wasn’t. So if any one of you can find it in you to help me give my father a burial it would be very much appreciated. The VA is covering the headstone, plot, and vault. We have to pay for the casket, body preparation, and transportation to the national cemetery in Bushnell. Thank you again everyone. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Bye de boo boo, dada!  You will be missed, but not forgotten.

$5,000 is just an estimate as of this moment.  When we know a more solid number from the funeral home, we will update.
