Alright, now that we have the information needed we can start taking donations and contributions. There is a link for flowers right on the funeral home's site. A super badass standing arrangement is around $200. That's a pretty fair price for a standing spray with the upgraded flowers.

Link to funeral home page

If anyone has specific preference or wants to vote for a certain arrangment be sure to not it in your post.

I know we will be making a card, or Fyrefighter will be making one with everyone's comments and best wishes. When you post in this thread, please indicate in your post what your comment is for the card or whatever we send.

Example:

I like the white arrangment, donation sent Chief!

My comment: I will never forget you Ricky. You were a true friend and a wonderful person.

Once we exceed the amount for the arrangment, the rest will be donated to his Daughter's trust fund which will be up on the funeral home site later today. I think it's a great idea for us all to donate as a group. This way those who only have a little bit of money to add can still be included in the bigger picture and gift.

I will not hold up the process to wait for money clear to my account. I will cover the amount immediately paying for the arrangement. This way we can get that ordered and keep accumulating donations for the trust fund aLL weekend!



Send the money as a gift so paypal doesn't take 5% of this little girl's trust fund donations.

We are looking to goto the wake on Monday as a group. Please start posting up plans in here as well.

:hug

I'm sure it's not too long bro. Everyone should write what they feel like and we will work out the details later. :fact

Donation sent. It ain't much, but...well...anyway...

I really don't know what to say as a 'comment' or what ever, but...I guess:

"Rest in peace, big guy. You will definitely be missed."

:)
Joe, that's plenty! This is the exact reason why we all are chipping in. People are being VERY generous. I don't expect it to stop. Ricky's daughter is going to have a nice trust fund. :fact

Her dad touched the hearts of many and it will be evident. :fact

Money sent. I also like the big white arrangement.

Message: Rick, may you rest in peace. You will be missed by your loved ones and have left great memories in the hearts of others.
:cheers
