Ares(Jason) and Treasure Chest(Sue) don't have access to this thread. Please donate what you can for flowers for the passing of Sue's father Bill. Me2 has offered her PayPal account for a place to send the money to. Please send payments to sarahandbeans@aol.com
Thank you to everyone who can help out in this emotional time for their family.

Me2 thought that a donation to an animal shelter might be appropriate as well. Ideas.
BTW Thanks Mike
I'll find my way to paypal and get a donation in.
This from one of the many articles regarding his passing....
Bill and his wife Nancy are passionate about animal rights issues. They worked extensively with the Minnesota Humane Society, the Fund for Animals and other organizations.
this is the first time Ive been able to be near a computer in a few days. I'll check my paypal tomorrow mikey. ty.
I saw Sue last night and she was a complete mess. She is in shock even though she knew it was coming. I watched Jason be right there to hold her and comfort and support her when she most needed him. He has grown since we knew his shy computer self so many years ago. She is lucky to have him and all of the Cooler right now. Sue has mentioned to me how heartfelt she feels twords the amazing support of people in the Cooler who have called or egramed or emailed or even went to visit her.
I like this group effort instead of doing things individually, I really admire the Cooler Crew and I'm very grateful and proud to call you all my friends. I've seen alot of kinds words and thoughtful actions when they have been most needed over the years and literally it brings tears to my eyes (like right now).
I think the Humane Society, or anything regaurding animals, is a good idea for them. Sue gets her love for saving animals from her dad BIG TIME!!!! The stories I could tell!
I'm not good with buying flowers to have them sent but I'll do my best. I've asked for the Linders discount (I think it's 25% off) and having an arrangement made....don't these run about $50-75? I don't do this often.... any ideas on how much should be spend on them and then the rest of the $$ can go twords the Humane Society?? what do you think? I'll do whatever you guys think. If there is only enough $$ for flowers than so be it. I will be donating $$ as well.
If anyone else can figure out the Humane Society thing? I'd appreciate it. Some of you know that I begin a full time job in the morning and at the moment I also plan to stay with the historical society so my time is more limited than ever. I don't know how long it takes or how to make the donation in Bill's name or get a certificate to give Sue and Jase. thanks.
Our contribution should be in your paypal email as well, me2.
I'll contribute to the pot today.
Good luck on your new job today J!

She always steps up to help no matter how full her plate already is. Jana is a true friend! We had to edit my post in the hero thread because Sue and Jason dont have access here and we didn't want to blow our cover. (thanks for catching that CM)
:smile:
thanks
Thank you for considering the Minnesota Humane Society for a donation in Bill's memory. Bill was a kind and gentle man who was a good friend to the animals. We are very saddened by his passing.
The Minnesota Humane Society accepts online donations through our website or donations can be mailed to our office at 475 North Cleveland Avenue, Suite 100B, St. Paul, MN 55104. Generally when we receive a memorial donation we send an acknowledgement to the honored person's family. If we receive the donation prior to the funeral, an acknowledgement letter could be faxed to you. Please let me know how you would like to handle this.
Linda, Minnesota Humane Society
Any thoughts on if we need to present Sue with an acknowledgment letter at the funeral or just let the Humane Society mail them one?
When my dad died, we had asked for donations in lieu of flowers to the American Cancer Society. It was really nice getting that letter later.
thanksjess
and OT TOO!
I have to say that I found out that Icesis went out to Sues and spent all day yesterday helping her with the picture boards.
I'm sorry If I already posted that, it was on my mind that she had given her time while trying to finish college papers. I never want to forget or miss anyones efforts. Of all people, my mom is gonna pick up the flowers from Linders and bring them to Excelsior (she is attending the wake too). There are angels among us all the time. I'm not really the hero here...its a team effort.
I'll be there around 6.
I saw LA Mommy, Red bear and his better 1/2, Mystical and hubby (with cute baby) there.
I heard that Terry V was there ,Camo Terry as well as Mr and Mrs Zephy.
I'm probly missing someone here. Sorry if I missed anyone.
it was a beautiful gathering last night but emotional for Sue and Nancy.
They felt bad
Back to the stream with Don Stolz.
Thanks CM
There was fresh cut white hydrangea in there too that I loved.
I was tempted to steal the stems because it was so pretty.
what I saw was very good....cept your new G.F. (Amelia Santaniello) eye's are goofy...looked like she was looking at a weird spot that made her eyes seem stange...
It was a very nice tribute from what I watched as well. I have it on my DVR and will watch the entire thing tonight.
I was outvoted last night and had to watch a movie with the girls.

I'm planning on seeing cm this weekend to get him the donations.
He doesn't know that yet though -
and fyi- nice noodles on Davids hunt
