kevin922 0 #1 April 21, 2003 OKay guys, here's the scoop. N2skydvn imed me about this idea, and i'm running with it. I'm putting together a memorial page for holly to appear in USPA -- full page, hopefully color but depends on how much we can get together. I haven't ever had to do this before, so your input would be appreciated. I want the text to be short but very sincere. I plan on having "From your family @ dropzone.com" her birth year - 2003 and either 1 full sized picture or a collage of pictures. I have a bunch of pictures coming my way from close friends of hers from AZ. The info is this: A full page b&w is $845 a full page color is $1275. The payment must be sent 45 days in advance (i.e. May 15th for July) I have paypal setup donate here Again i'm looking for help not only to pay for it but also for ideas.. She was not just a good friend of mine, she was part of our family, so the entire family should have a part of this. If you have pictures (which aren't posted on the dz.com area) you can email them to korkin@yahoo.com, if I decide to use the ones from dz.com i'll PM you for a higher quality version. For those who don't use paypal: Mail to: (make checks payable to Kevin Orkin) Holly Kish Memorial Fund c/o Kevin Orkin 13303 glen echo cir #302 herndon, va 20171 Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFKING 4 #9 April 21, 2003 Great idea, Kev.....my donation's on the way. Another thought.......make sure her parents get a copy of the mag when it's published. It would help during their bereavement to know how much she was loved and respected here. Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #12 April 21, 2003 Quote Good Idea!!! Ok, done. Let us know if you need more "help" yes kevin. it is IMPORTANT fo ryou to tell us if you got enough $$ fo rthe page. although it was your idea doesnt mean you should foot the bill. if you lay out more then a few dollars I will pitch in more. I dont think you'll have a problem raising enough for the page though.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #25 April 21, 2003 Good work running with the idea and getting the donation page up, Kevin. Thanks for making it easy. People, send a lot, or send a little if that's what you can. Every bit helps. Sadly, I never even met Holly. But it doesn't matter that I didn't, when it comes to supporting her family and showing them she was loved and respected. We're family here, dysfunctional or not, so we need to support those who are grieving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
