Nathan Stoner
Our community is a caring one and we offer this opportunity for you to assist the family of Nathan Stoner during their time of loss. There's an old saying, "Many hands make light work," that relates the sense of community in this situation. If we see someone in need, in this case - Theresa who is trying to provide for her son's service - if each one of us contributes a little...what a load it will be off her shoulders.
Burying the dead is an act of mercy. Jesus Christ taught that man not only receives and experiences the mercy of God, but that man is also called "to practice mercy" towards others. For the cost of an average mocha drink...many of us working together could make a big difference. Can you pay it forward? Many anonymous small donations combined together would create a ripple effect to let his family know others care about them.

Jack Harrison
Update (7/3/2017): Thank you for your donation. The funeral expenses have been paid in full.
Imagine, if you will, being 41 years and old facing a debilitating disease. You go through every medical test there is getting second - third- and fourth opinions...even traveling to the renowned Cleveland Clinic. No diagnosis. Two years later, you are forced to go on disability because you are too weak to function. The medical bills are staggering. Your wife works hard to pull it all together, working her job plus keeping life as normal as possible for the kids. And she learns to make every penny squeak. Finally, after ten years, the diagnosis is Stage IV colon cancer. You fight it with every ounce of your being. But it is too late...
Sadly, this is the true story of Jack Harrison.
How can you help? What can you do to express your sympathy. You could send his wife a $4.99 + tax Hallmark card. You could buy flowers for $25 and up...but they will die, too.
One of the kindest things you can do right now is help Trudie get through the next few days with a gift to help towards Jack's final expenses. That is a gesture that will ease her worries and give her hope as she faces the future. Any gift, no matter the amount, is appreciated more than you could ever imagine. You can donate online or bring the donation to the funeral chapel when you come to pay your respects on Monday.
(UPDATE - THE NEW TOTAL REFLECTS DONATIONS GIVEN AT THE FUNERAL CHAPEL. NEW BALANCE IS $1500.00)
