Forgive my tardiness but I just got to this thread. Eric, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's very hard to lose a parent and I know that words fail; only time will help.

Roz and Barry, thank you for helping to set up donations for flowers. Eric, I also read your post about your mom's need of help. I can make a small donation for both but I'll give more to Eric's mom.

Eric ,What a Shock!! I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad, What a Great person to talk to, as I have several times. I will never forget how your dad always joked around with me About his name "Rudy" and my dog Rudy... What a Great person that was always out to helped others. He will be missed and Never Forgotten. My Condolences and prayers are there for you and your family. RIP "Rudy" John

Hi Stat. Thanks for the kind words and your generosity. My mother, brother and I are taking it day by day.
I spent so much time in the last 6 or 7 years with my dad that I have realized that I lost not only my dad, but my best friend.
And yes, it's so true, only time will heal.

John. Thanks also for the kind words and prayers. That is one thing my dad loved to do, joke around. He loved to make people laugh and have a good one himself.
My dad loved people, having good conversations and helping people whenever he could. He was a father figure to many who either didn't have a dad or whos dad wasn't there for them. My dad loved animals. For many years my dad said no to us having a dog, yet when my brother brought one home one day he was the 1st one to run out of the house and by a kennel and toys for her. We found out why he didn't want us to have one a few years later. He suffered the loss of two as a young boy at the hands of a farmer. He wanted to spare us from that kind of pain.

Just wanted to post an update and thank everyone for their kindness and generosity. I am truly touched at the support my Mom, brother and I have received from my NLG family. On My Mom's Go Fund It donation page we have reached 9% of our goal. For anyone who wants to see the page, it can be found at the following link: http://www.gofundme.com/86vgkg

Here's another update, I just got home a little while ago and saw that the Go Fund Me page to help my Mom with funeral expenses and other un-expected bills has reached 13.3% of it's target. Awesome! http://www.gofundme.com/86vgkg

After a good 1st day, I'm continuing to try and raise some money to help my mom out with expenses and
bills related to my dads death. I want to again thank all those who have been so kind and generous with
their donations. Words can not express how much we appreciate it.

Have a great weekend,
Eric

FoRrHouse · « **Reply #31 on:** April 13, 2014, 12:51:29 PM »

As I mentioned a few days before, I set up a Go Fund It page to help my Mom with my dad's funeral expenses and bills.
After helping my mom go through the financials that she's faced with, we've found the situation to be worse
than previously thought, with bankruptcy likely. Personally, from now on I will be giving her all that I have available after bills.
My dad's passing hasn't been easy, but we have great extended family who's been there for us. Any help no matter how small
is much appreciated.

I just wanted to take the time to thank CVslots and all of the NLG members for the flower arrangement for my fathers funeral and for donations to the Go Fund Me page to help my Mom.

The flower arrangement done by Roslyn & CVslots was nothing short of incredible. It stood out as the most beautiful arrangement there and my mom is loving it.
It was a very touching gesture that meant a lot to me and my family. Many members of my extended family commented on it and I, proudly, said that it was from my NLG friends. I know my dad was looking down on it and smiling too.

Thank you so much Roslyn for thinking of my family and for the kind and generous time that you spent on making this flower arrangement happen and on the flower arrangement itself. You even went above and beyond to deliver it! All is much appreciated. It is something that my family and I will never forget and that made the services for my father extra special.

Thanks again to all,
Eric

Donation sent, take care Eric, pete

FoRrHouse · « **Reply #34 on:** April 30, 2014, 12:32:39 PM »

Thanks Pete. I appreciate the donation. It really helps my mom who is so worried and stressed.
Every donation helps relieve some of that stress.

Below is a picture of my dad. He was a very generous, selfless man.

Thanks again,
Eric

Still trying to raise some money to help my mom with bills and other expenses related to my Fathers death.
Her income was cut in half when he passed away.
I raised the goal because expenses keep adding up.
She really needs to get a reliable used car as hers is hanging on by a thread.
I used to let her use my car as a backup until it was stolen a little more than
a year and 1/2 ago. They never found it and that was the reliable car.

The link to my Father's Go Fund Me Page is below. Any help no matter how small is much appreciated.
And a Big thank you to all the members who have donated.

Eric,

Very late to the thread, but sincere condolences are sent to you and your family.

will see on payday if i have any extra , ill send it to your mom via gofundme...

Hello Eric,
My condolences to you and your family.
We went through this 6 months ago with the passing of my father.
Today is his birthday, He would have been 87.
My mother is now alone, and sorting out the paperwork, bills, and arrangements was overwhelming.
Luckily my Sister and I live close by, so we see her almost every day.
Take care of your Mom, It is a blessing that you can be there to help her.
Jim.

FoRrHouse · « **Reply #38 on:** May 17, 2014, 04:17:40 PM »

Jim. Thanks I appreciate it. My Condolences to you as well.
It's a hard part of life that we're having to go through and when I say, "we're,"
I'm meaning not only my family, but yours and your sisters as well.
The bills and paperwork keep coming, and although it's difficult and frustrating we
take it day by day. I have been there full time to help my mom with my dad and
I will continue to be there for my mom. They way I feel about it is that, since I'm able to,
it's the least that I can do for all of the love, sacrifices and opportunities they have given
my brother and I. I will say some prayers for your mom. For today, your father's birthday,
try and keep your head up and try and think of all of the happy memories and the times
that you had all of the biggest laughs together. Doing this has been helping me a lot.

Thanks and take care,
Eric

@ wild045.

Thank you for your condolences and thinking of my family and I
I appreciate your post to me. It's nice to hear from people who
know that you're family is going through a hard time. Sometimes,
it's these little things in life that help lift us up a bit.
Also, whether you can or can't, in regards to the gofundme, either way
I just want to thank you for even the thought.

Eric
