I just got off the phone with Ann. She is following Paul's wishes to the letter. He wanted to be cremated with no funeral, no services and no flowers. Paul was a very private person (as is Ann)
Unfortunately the hospital Paul passed away in was in the next county and Ann had to pay extra for him to be returned to where they live. There is a major hospital within 2 miles of their home, but because his insurance was Tricare he had to go to a hospital that was a Tricare provider - and that was 35 miles away! She did have to pay out a few thousand dollars to the funeral home today. She doesn't know what other expenses she will have. So I think it is wonderful if we can help even in a small way.
