Worst birthday ever! Advice needed! (2 Viewers)

Thank you the outpouring of support. There is some excellent advice here that I am certainly going to use, and frankly some extremely touching thoughts posted.

What is happening now, is that Scott's mother will be meeting with the funeral director at Melancon Funeral Home in Carencro tomorrow morning. I told Scott's sister to tell her mom to make whatever choices on the burial and funeral arrangements that they (Sheena and Scott's family) decided upon, and to let me know the cost and I would cover any costs over what they could contribute, and if they couldn't contribute, that I would cover it.

I did so because Dan in Lafayette called me and told me in no uncertain terms that he would take care of the upfront costs of the funeral and burial, and he could get his funds back through the gofundme, and if not, no time limits on paying him back... just to show you the kind of stand up friend that old self-proclaimed curmudgeon really is. Also considered as well was confidence from your thoughtful and generous offers of support. So I guess I need to get started on that gofundme. I will probably start a new thread when it's ready. Perhaps tonight sometime. I am really tired and still have to update the news page.

To that point, other than paying back Dan, I really want to try to raise what I can for Sheena and the kids. Even to put a nice dent in Sheena and Scott's shared debt would be huge for them, as well as for my wife and myself.

Arya is starting her first year of school shortly, and my wife Lora just returned from bringing Arya shopping for school clothes, which is something that Scott was going to do today. Scott is such a huge loss in so many ways. I relied on him a lot personally. The shock and sorrow in this house today is indescribable. It's very somber and we are doing our best to make that less obvious to the grand kids. Not that I do, but I will never look at a post from another member that has suffered a sudden and tragic loss in any sort of casual manner again. Sometimes you have to go through it in order to gain perspective.
 
I think, well, according to the coroner, anyway, what is done with his body is up to his mother, as though I call him my son-in-law and Sheena's spouse, they never married... not officially, anyway. Scott's mom certainly is in no position to afford a funeral. At least my credit is still good. Hopefuly you are correct that they will finance. Guess I will find out tomorrow.
may be too late, but a good purpose can be served and alleviate financial concerns:

 
Many of us will send money to a go fund me account in a heartbeat bro. Sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family!
 
I believe that God puts angels in our lives, to help us when we need it most. Today’s angel came in the form of Dan. God Bless Scott’s soul, as well as all of you who are grieving. I pray that He brings all of you strength and some form of comfort. My deepest condolences.
 
Gut wrenching!! Is there a link for a go fund me ??? Will be happy to contribute
 
Is there any sort of GoFundMe set up? I will gladly share the page and can donate to you on my next pay check. I haven't quite paid rent this month yet but when I am a little better off in 2 weeks can help.

Love and light andrus. We are all here for you.
 
Please get some rest, I cannot possibly share your pain and worries but would be honored to help. You are a treasure and have my promise to help.

Working on that now, and thank you!
 
Andrus, I live in Yville and was given some uniforms for my daughter the other day, if your grand daughter could use them and If she’s in public school and I can def arrange to get them to you if it would help. Believe it was size 6.

Sorry for yours and your families loss. I couldn’t imagine.
 
There are no words. Of course, I'm ready to contribute when things are set up. This site is like a huge family, and Andrus, you're its patriarch.

Well.. thank you very much, J.D! She does wear size 6, and Sheena would be grateful, but only if you are sure that your daughter doesn't need them.

If so... The address is:

Sheena Whitewing
392 Highway 182,
Sunset, La. 70584
 
Post some sort of fund raiser on here. With all these members I’m sure we could help a good bit.
 
Sorry to hear of such a tragic, unexpected loss. I am sure your family relies heavily on you. The weight on your shoulders at this moment must be overwhelming. Take care of yourself.

There's another thing - I don't know how to set it up, but people using Amazon could send items your way with an Amazon wish list. I don't know if they'd appreciate goods from Amazon being sent, but I'd be happy - if I knew what items might help get them ready for school - to order them on Amazon from here.

I'm in Canada, but have a US Amazon account I use regularly and would be happy to help get her set up for school. Even if you don't use the Wish List and just included them here in this thread, that would be cool, too.

But if that's too much in terms of having packages sent, I understand.
 
Does she need some school supplies? Just let us know how we can help.
