Molly thanks so much for getting this memorial established. Sounds like you have your hands full already. Good luck with everything.

Thank you, Molly, for everything you're doing to get the permanent memorial approved for Bill.

When it's convenient for you, please let us know about the new grandbaby, who will be making an appearance very soon!


Marcy

Thank you for looking after Bill's memorial Molly. It sounds like you already have enough on your plate!

Good luck with the new grandchild! When you have a chance, please let us know when the new arrival makes his/her appearance!

Good afternoon! After some consideration, GRRR at this time doesn't offer any method for a permanent memorial less than the rates I've already told you about. They might in the future, but at the moment, we cannot put a photo stake (Abby's neat item) at Phoebe's Place, GRRR's home and grounds. So, unless anyone objects, I plan to do the naming tribute (using the name Bill) and a contribution to the Golden Angel fund. We will always remember Bill's kindness, his interest in the people and pups on GRIC, and his friendship to all of us. I have a feeling he and Peggy Sue are having quite the party right about now.....

We have absolutely no objection to the naming tribute and contribution to the Golden Angel Fund in Bill's memory. I feel Bill knows many goldens will be helped as they arrive at GRRR.

Bill will always be with us in spirit. He was a special man.

Thank you, Molly, for handling all the details for the forum. Now, I hope you get word soon of a new grandbaby being on the way!

Marcy

This is perfectly fine with me. Thank you!

Phyllis L.

Ok with me. Thanks again for doing this.

Hi Molly!
You have a lot going on right now - so a really special THANK YOU for dealing with this!
ANYTHING you decide to do is fine with me, but I got to thinking - didn't someone say that Bill's former work place was taking up a collection too? I don't know where he worked, or what kind of (size) donation they might come up with, but can't help but wonder if ours, combined with theirs, might be enough for a bench? Just a thought - anything to do with goldens would, I'm sure, please Bill!
THANKS again!

Fidele, GRRR has already received a donation from Century Link (formerly Qwest) in Bill's name. I'll try to find out in what amount and whether it was designated to a specific fund. If it wasn't, I'll do the math and see if something permanent is possible by combining funds. My guess would be no, but there's surely no harm in trying.

Molly -
Please KNOW that I'm totally happy with whatever is done and so thankful for your efforts! And I'm sure Bill would be pleased and honored as well!
Many thanks - again!
Fidele

This is all good... the naming tribute and the donation for care. Thank you for doing this, and will be waiting to hear you have another beautiful grandbaby to celebrate.

Just back from seeing baby Peter at the hospital. Woo boy, I am in love once more Maybe I'll see if Rick would post a picture. Meantime, I just wanted to report that as of mail delivery today, the collection for Bill's memorial totals $375.00, so $100 to the naming tribute and $275 to the golden angel fund. Bill would be so very pleased that his forum friends are remembering him in this kind and generous way, so if you feel a little tap on the shoulder in the next few days, it's your angel friend Bill saying thanks.

Happy to hear the new baby is doing well!

What a wonderful way to remember Bill!

Cheers,
Phyllis L.
