Story
Peter Elson was a colourful character, he was important in all of our lives. A soldier, comedian, prankster, singer and thespian. Our dad will truly be missed in our lives and in the lives of his grandchildren.
He died on 7th May 2017 due to complications with pancreatic cancer. He was a fighter having fought for 12 months after being diagnosed terminal.
His funeral was held on 1st June 2017 at Rosehill, Doncaster.
Having been let down by many factors for funding we were hoping to raise enough to cover the cost. We have almost half the funeral paid, we just need 700 pounds.
We applied for the DWP Funeral Grant but it was rejected on the grounds that we and other family members were liable to pay. However, people were not forthcoming with their money and so we need the power of social media's help.
All we need is help to cover these costs and my dad will truly be at peace.
I do hope you can help no matter how small it makes a difference in our lives. And remember to please share for us!
