Michele 1 #27 April 22, 2003 Hi, all... While I agree that a tree would be great, and a plaque is a spectacular idea, the reasoning behind the flowers is to let the family know - in a tangible, real way - that they are not alone, that we are with them, and that we love them and support them on a day when they will need as much support as we can send. I was thinking that a bright yellow spray, something lively and as bright as her smile, would be great to show them we care on Saturday...and maybe we can plant a tree at Eloy in her memory at another point in the very near future? It's all good, whatever is thought of as best. I really just want the family to know that we are there for them.

slotperfect 7 #28 April 22, 2003 -The ad, being simple, is a fantastic way to honor her within the skydiving community. -The tree is an absolutely marvelous idea, and a small simple plaque at the base makes it even better. -Flowers are great, but not lasting. I vote that we add flowers to the list only if there's money left over from the other two. My two cents . . .Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #32 April 22, 2003 I agree with Michele in that flowers are the universal funeral "thinking of you." It's OK if they die in a few days -- they're just a long-distance hug, and no one expects them to last forever. But, in any case, I defer to Kevin's judgement on administering the fund. He's shown great initiative and selflessness getting this set up, and I trust him to do good things with it.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #33 April 22, 2003 i sort of agree on the flowers however if your going to do that i would suggest planted..like orchids that will live longer than cut dying flowers____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
