Title: Let's do something for Speedbag's Family
Post by: supakpow2 on December 01, 2008, 06:53:37 PM
I'll put up $10 or $15 dollars to send some flowers or something to Speedbag and his mother and family. Maybe FTD or Something. Let's let them know that DMF cares. Maybe we can make a donation to the DMF for this purpose and one of the founders can make the arrangement for us. or someone receive donations via Paypal and then get info from Dave. What do you guys think?

I'm in with a suggestion to maybe take a portion of our donation and send it to the American Heart Association.
It's possible they might also have a charitable cause noted in his obituary.    Just a thought.  Either way, count
me in.

I like #2 personally.
If everyone will post their choice by tomorrow afternoon then we could possibly have them delivered by Thursday.
My suggestion for any leftover money would be to send it to SB. They might have a need for some funds for family travel expenses etc... just my thought.  Nice idea though Stella.
Maybe BP and his wife could write a simple note to Dave and his familly from the DMF family expressing our feelings.

BP, PM me and I can help with any of this.

You guys and gals are awesome.   :-*

We are at the "above and beyond" point, and any extra will be sent into the AHA under Dave's name.

For those wishing to give more..... please save your cash, take your family out for a hot coco and tell them you love them.

Life is best lived without regrets...... let them know they are loved every chance you get.



Big hugs sent to all who have helped. I haven't spoken with Dave since all this has transpired, but I know he'll be genuinely touched by all your kindness and well wishes.
