I think it's a great suit. Not too contemporary. Plus, I know I'd want someone who is up on the trends when buying real estate. You look very sharp in it. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

PayPal and Checks Alex H Clarence W Patrick J James B Ole K. Micro Jim T. Israel Before PayPal $6,089.51 After PayPal $5,708.86 Parachutist ($1565) Donation $4,143.86 We've made it past $6,000 before PayPal gets their cut. Still waiting to hear back from PayPal in regards to getting back the fees since this is for a donation/memorial. Thanks to everyone for the PM's and posts. I'm really tight on time w. all the things that I have going on w. the donations and (belive it or not, more tradegy) in my personal life. I appreciate all of your kind words and thank you for motivating me. It is nice to know that the work is appreciated. Even though it is a great cause and I know that (worth every bit of stress and lack of sleep), this has been tougher in ways that I never imagined. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I really have a lot on my plate right now esp. w. the donations rolling in and everything going on in my personal life. Sorry if anyone was confused. Even if I could edit the posts, I simply don't have the time to go back and do that. I've put in endless hours collecting donations, making sure checks have gotten out, making list of those who have donated, and what not. If anyone thinks I don't have Shannon's wishes or best interests in mind, they are sorely wrong (not saying it's your Remi, I've received PM's and comments that I feel are way off base).

When you are typing it as frequently as I have abbreviations are sort of necessary. It's on this site and thread enough where the $ is going. If people have doubts, they can see just about any post in this thread to clear things up. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Sometimes I feel this way. Then I realize that without what I did in my past I would not be who I am today. I think I've done some pretty cool stuff that I am proud of. I do at times think I could have done things differently but then would I be who I am today? I think I've come out alright and learned a ton in the process. As long as I learn and improve who I am, I'm okay w. the mistakes I made that have shaped me into the person I am today. You should be very proud of the changes you've made. You can only move in the right direction and learn from the past. Sounds like you're doing all of that Keep your head up! Edited to add: Just recently have I been able to think like that and tell myself that. I have Ari to thank as he has helped me in so many ways w. changing how I think and feel about myself. Don't be too hard on yourself Dom, you can only do what feels right at that moment and what that is now, wasn't what it was a while ago. Go w. the flow.

I've sent them an email. They did not refund the $ for my breast cancer fundraiser in October so I'm not terribly hopeful but it never hurts to ask. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I love all those! I'm partial to penguins though. Thanks for all the 'proofs,' you are very talented. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Great pics Allen! The plane and clouds are beautiful. OMG that outfit in the last pic is Thanks for sharing, I needed a good hard chuckle this am

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat . More than anything I would love to be there to offer love and hugs to those on the west coast. I wish I had the money to buy a ticket but the finances just aren't up to the task. You are all in my thoughts constantly and I hope time, friends, hugs, and love can help everyone w. the healing process. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I am not sure if bestfriends.org has been contacted in regards to donations that may be coming in. I wanted to write them and let them know I will be sending a large check from the dz.com community in Shannon's honor. Here is the email I sent: To: guardianangel@bestfriends.org Subject: A community in mourning is finding inspiration and :) though bestfriends.org Body: Hi, my name is Paige Rudolph and I have been taking donations from skydivers all around the world in the wake of a recent fatality of a good friend Shannon Dean, or as she is known on Dropzone.com GirlFallDown. Here is a post Bob Ash (fiance) made in regards to her memorial service on Dropzone.com and how in lue of flowers they would like funds donated to bestfriends.org( http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2255537;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed; ). The Dropzone.com community has managed to raise $5,979.51 (before PayPal), after the PayPal charges we have net $5,624.58. $1565 of that is going to a memorial page in Parachutist magazine and the rest will be sent to you guys! Our donation to bestfriends.org in Shannon’s honor (so far) is $4,059.58. Shannon was an amazing woman and it’s so fitting that her caring and giving continue even after she has left this waking life. I’m not sure if you are aware of all of this but I wanted to give you a heads up that a large donation will be coming in Shannon’s honor. If you are interested, I will be posting updates for our donation totals to you here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=2251604;page=6;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; Lots of love to you and all the amazing animals you are caring for- Paige Rudolph Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Thank you to everyone who sent their donations via check! Clarence W. Clay F. Jumper 03 Cheryl D. Pat J. Cora Muenkel UPDATE Totals before PayPal $5,979.51 Totals after PayPal $5.624.58 Parachutist Memorial Page ($1,565) BF.ORG Donation $4,059.58 A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Kristi for the kind words

I'm sorry you didn't get to fly I know you would have had a blast. I missed out on flight time because of meetings on a business trip too. It stinks. Make sure to hit it up on your next trip out. 4 flyers isn't much to justify the costs of keeping staff after hours and operating the tunnel. They usually do after hours flights for private parties that rent out the whole facility. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Dom, no worries! Life has been busy for me also. I totally understand. I have made it out to Eloy and OMG what a fun and fast tunnel. There's room enough in there to do just about anything and the speed is also there for fun hybrids and such. Again, I'm so glad things are working out for you and that you are contributing to a wonderful cause. Way to go!

Congrats Dom, that's great news!!!!!!!! Helping others is very honorable. The not for profit sector needs good people like you running the show and helping out. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
