Announcement
On Sunday Aug 3rd @1pm We will be having "A Celebration of Life" to honor Sheila's Memory
I would like to extend an invitation to any of my ifish family that may want to come and meet my kids and see who it is that you great folks are helping
We will be holding the Celebration at
14334 SE Cedar Ave in Milwaukie
I know many of you are still preparing food and it is greatly  appreciated
Not having to cook has been a blessing,
Rod brought over enough food to nearly fill my freezer 
I do not want to take advantage of your generosity so I am asking that you all stop gathering food at this point
I will gladly accept what has already been donated but please do not keep collecting food
Spazz has been great in keeping track of monetary donations and I think he has collected sufficient funds to cover the costs at the Funeral home
I will be taking to Jennie in the near future to see about setting up an ifish community fund with any extra $$ that was donated so that there will be cash available to the next family member in crisis
If this idea is not acceptable then I would welcome any and all ideas on what to do with any money that might be left over
May GOD bless every one of you and may your kindness be repaid a thousand times over
THANK YOU!!!!!

Re: Announcement
Hank, Thank you for opening your special moment to all of us. I will not be able to make it, but I will keep Sheila in my thoughts and prayers at that time.
You may consider purchasing a memorial artificial reef with any left over funds, provided the Ifish financial charter isnt able to accomodate creating a ifish relief fund.

Re: Announcement
I am so glad we were able to help. It is always a blessing to be able to help. Thank you for sharing with your ifish family, I feel the same way about ifish. As Ifish cannot setup a fund maybe the extra could be given to help defray the costs for maintaining ifish?

Re: Announcement
Hank thank you for the invite. I am praying for you and your Kids.
I can not make it on Sunday but my thoughts will be with you. 
The Dogs are a great bunch of ifishers.

Re: Announcement
Hank, you are so wonderful. 
We'll talk about your idea, later, but for now, let's get you handled. I do think it would be too tough to try to determine who would get what. Obviously, the people who gave to you know you and trust you and love you in a very special way. 
I'm so proud of the ifish family.
We all love you!
Jen

Re: Announcement
Hows about take any left over and put it onto a college fund for your kids??? As they will need support along the ways as well. Dont know the final tally as to what was raised but anything would help at this time.
Thoughts are with you and your family
