Becky Hedin - Memorial Fund - Update

[Leon]

Here is another thread I have reservations about starting. I feel it is needed though, in order to let all of our generous and kind members know about their contributions to Becky Hedin's Memorial Fund. I have been in contact with the Funeral Home and will be making a check out to them in the next day or so with all of the money collected. I completely understand more sides of this situation than I care to. At the end of the day the board was extremely generous in helping out a fellow collector. It is understood that these monies donated and helping with the bills could free up other monies but that is not a concern. Everyone should know that 100% of their donation is going directly to the Funeral Home. Interestingly less than 5% decided not to donate, after they donated, and the other information came out. I think that really says something about the kindness of the board. I am also appreciative that folks had confidence in my custodianship of the donations. I will give an update later on how much was donated and how many folks gave. I think yesterday I counted about 131.
Bill is still grieving and I am not sure if he will eventually come back to the board or not. I hope he does. My condolences, once again, to Bill, family and friends. May Becky rest in peace.
