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.
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.
Thanks for heading this again, Ant. Money sent :cheers
My comment: I never met you Ricky but I recognize your name on the forums. I am honored to have been associated with you through the forums. My prayers are with you and your family.

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
Comment: Ricky, you will always be a brother, a great friend! I will remember you now, and forever! May God Bless your soul! My prayers are with you, your family, and your precious daughter Emma. I will forever look after your family in your absense. I love you Ricky, you will truly be missed!
Also, for anyone interested I will be having made vinyl decals in remembrance of Ricky "Ballistik" Bishop. ALL proceeds from purchases will be donated to Emma Bishop's Trust Fund. More information on that will follow...
I can only imagine how proud Ricky is above about the response he's recieving... you all got me cryin again... it's just so touching... his family will be truly greatfull!
i have a side contribution i wanna get as well....
im gonna go get somethin like this done, i just did this quickly in btwn my work... and for those that get to make the trip, we can actually sign it with a sharpie...
it'll be up to his fam if they would like to keep it or enclose it in his casket...what do you guys think?
I'm spreading the word on Facebook as well, I'd like to get as much going as possible! We already have a healthy start, let's keep it goin for Ricky and his precious daughter Emma!!!
Is someone gonna keep us up to date on the decal things..I know it's a pain in the ass with multiple threads and all that...but I'd like to be in the loop on that one.
I just want to thank everyone who has donated so far. Everyone's generosity is amazing. In less than a few hours we have already accumulated a great portion of money. We will be really making a BIG difference in his daughter and his family's lives by doing this.
I'm feeling so proud to be a part of this community right now! :hug
