Did Andy's mom lose two children now?

[Maat]

I cannot even imagine losing my daughter.

If I did, I would want to pass.

I remember hearing that Andy was at his sister's funeral.

Now, Andy.

I know that she has at least one child left.

No one should have to go through such an experience.

What can we do for that family?

(Sorry, I rarely post in the Lounge. You guys make me laugh. I feel pretty sad today.)

1. Yes....

Andy's oldest sister died last November. There are still two daughters and they are with Mrs. Stephenson in Seattle.

The family is making arrangements today. We will post them later.

6. Sometimes I wonder, at the deepest level, why one family ..

is asked to bear so much pain.

I listened to that caller on Randi Rhodes - he was a man who lost TWO sons in Iraq.

Well, I'm any for flowers or anything else we can think of.

Hopefully, we can do it through Ben's site.

2. Yes, his sister passed last year

It would be nice if we can send a donation to the family. Perhaps Ben Burch will post details on his site since a bunch of people raised a stink about fundraising for Andy here

3. Maybe we can take up a donation for some flowers from DU?

4. Excellent idea.

Do you want to coordinate that?

5. That would be a great idea.
