Clifton Mims' body was brought to a Dallas funeral home the day he died, but his family couldn't afford the cremation. So his body rested at the funeral home for an entire week. Dallas County Veterans Services sent out a mass e-mail with a plea for help. The Plano VFW post, the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association and several other vets' groups came up with the money.
