Thank you for coming here . This is so important to so many families not just mine. If you guys can help me I would appreciate it . So I’ve been trying to find my Paw Paw (grandpa) since I turned 18 . I know where he is and the row but I assumed someone was buried on top of him which was confirmed that it was possible by the city . The place was abandoned and the funeral home was closed but we didn’t know anything at the time like who, what, when , where , because my mom and uncle were cut out of finding certain things out due to things that don’t matter right now. Family fight and I don’t care I just want them to have closure. We only saw an empty hole. My brother had to put a flower in a empty pot for the man he looked up to and me as well. My sister can’t go see him she was 3 and it would be great to have that . I also want my family back home to know we did it & he’s okay . Its been 18 years & I be damned I’m gonna wait or the other families . I’ve been waiting to hear from someone over a year after finally reaching someone. My paw paws sister said to start this when I said I got information but I wanted to give them a chance . I atleast wanted an update of something. I called the city and they said we have to wait and have funds blah blah its many people calling about their families and it’s not much we can do at the moment and some other crap I tuned out after WE have to WAIT because we been waiting it’s a whole graveyard abandoned and people want their loved ones. I’m tired of crying putting flowers on a row because he wasn’t there anymore and I knew where he was I just couldn’t find him .I’ll never get the image of my brother on the ground with that flower , my uncle behind him, my mother in shambles , & me just shocked and having so many unanswered questions so I know where he was. We didn’t have the funds for a headstone , family was beefing that happens , it was a lot. So I don’t know if it was because he had a stick name but he was someone to us and we would have got the money somehow. But when we went back he was gone and the funeral home apparently was gone. When I went back in 2017 he wasn’t there anymore. I went during a storm and no electricity in my city because of the hurricane just to see him. It was a storm , in September , and it was a lot for me . Because when he left us in September 2004 there was a storm and when it was over he was gone.  There were trees all over and it was a mess no one fixed it for weeks. I believe someone volunteered because again it was abandoned and no one knew who did it.  I was 8 when he passed. He was my older brothers father figure (real dad was in prison all his life) & he’s been through so much and changed . I know it’s because he misses him even if he won’t admit it or wants to be tough. My mother it’s a whole thing for her because she only had him at the time we were here and her brother of course and lost her mother later but made amends before she went on to peace . My uncle had to carry his father from his apartment but couldn’t carry him to rest. I’m scared that she won’t make it if we get to September ( Paw Paws birthday & Month he passed) this year and she goes through another moment of heartache . I know even though I don’t talk to my uncle he goes through it as well. They never got to say bye , none of us did , we never saw him please help me & the others. I’m not waiting any longer . I’m 26 please I’m begging just sign it . I’m going to take it to the city building and I won’t stop until I have him until everyone knows where their family is. We need to exhume the entire thing but it costs too much supposedly . They didn’t even call or try to find us or say hey we took it over nothing. If I didn’t investigate since I was 18 no one would know . My family doesn’t know only my paw paws sister knows what I’m doing but they will know now. The Dunbar’s fight or argue but we strong as hell tbh & even if it’s just us it will make a move. It was a shit show funeral & it’s going to help my family get better I pray. Please just take a moment to sign this for me. I will get the funds for the headstone myself and make sure he’s in a better place where we can see him and his family if they want to come from out of state. He wanted to be buried here and he will stay here. Unless his children agree otherwise . I want my mother to have that moment , my brother , my uncle , my aunt everyone to just breathe and express their feelings . We never got closure. Thank you for reading this and even caring to want to sign . Also call and ask for them to exhume if you can I have the number listed here. Thank you so much.
