I will pick up 2 stickers from you this weekend at bir. Cash is going to be easiest for me. Let me know if that is a problem

HOLY CRAP thank you everyone who donated so far. The Michael Lomker Memorial Fund is up to $1180. I will check for a total again in the morning before I head to the funeral and cut a check. Any donations after that point I will give to the family when I give them the money from sticker sales.

I have been getting a few paypal payments via the donation link for $5 or $10 since I posted the info about the stickers....remember if you want a sticker please send a separate payment saying so.

If its all right with everyone I'll be quoting some of the comments people have had in these various threads to give to the family; they are kind words and I will do my best to share them. If anyone has any specific words or messages they'd like me to share, please say so and I will do so (if anyone else that is coming to the funeral would like to help with this, please do).

^^ I'm sure you will say something like this regardless, but just let them know he was liked by all, and we will all miss him. Also, our prayers are with his family.

Fund is up to $1451.60 this morning after some overnight donations (including mine) and I hadn't calculated in a few eChecks last time. I'll cover the tax and delivery on the flowers so we can give the fam an even $1350.

Here's the letter I'm giving to the family, from all of us, signed in the order donations were received (or maybe reverse order actually, sorry!) Anyways, everyone's name is there, lots of good quotes, its not perfect but I did the best I could.
