Sad News - show-me

Heavy news.
His recent posts always reminded me to put my best foot forward regardless of circumstance. So much sage wisdom we can learn from our peers, older or younger. Never easy, but always the best thing to do. Many things he "showed us".

Mike already took care of where the 'collections' should go, just like he took care of his family.

we could all contribute as desired and specify recipient. i think either organization would gladly accept any gift at any time in the near future, it doesn't have to be tomorrow. we could set a cutoff date and then aggregate funds a couple of weeks from now. tom, you have the facilities already established to accept credit card or personal check purchases, would you be the middle man? i'm in.

if we as his friends want to show-mike support at the ceremony on saturday, then we could establish contact with either the funeral home or pastor and i'm sure an email document sent COB tomorrow could be printed and present in an appropriate form with our well-wishes and cares and prayers posted in this thread. if anybody has already made that contact i can make the document and forward it. if not, i could try to facilitate that contact too. i bet the florist could do so as well, but maybe the money for flowers would be better spent on his music or sports intentions.

get ahold of all your tsptalk contacts and post it here by tomorrow. we could send him one heck of a thank you card. he is loved and appreciated by many. let's help walk him home, friends.

Burrocrat and Tom, Please let us know.
 
paypal link worked for me... it had been a long time since I used it. Thanks for putting that together Tom
 
I'm just now reading about Mike's passing. Very sad. He helped me and so many others here. He was an inspiration to all. My condolences to his family.
 
Rest in Peace, my USPS brother. Aloha - Kathy

In those quiet moments in the still of the night
Remember to rejoice and celebrate life
Do not think of me gone and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on the grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in flight
I am the soft stars that shine
You will hear my gentle voice
and remember to rejoice
Never give up your fight
and remember always
to Celebrate Life.... ---- Author Unknown

the link works. it walks you through creating a paypal account if you don't already have one and accepts credit card donations to buy low sell high, inc.

i'm in.
 
ok grandma, you're in too. you took a tsptalk mugshot at a historical baptist church not long ago. fire up your network. call your pastor and have him call mike's pastor and he will have, know, or find someone we can send an email document to print for our tsptalk card and who will deliver it in person with love. the connection is always there, we only have to reach for it. that is how it works. i'll pm you the email address i'm sending from. i will send our tsptalk card to you or any designee. if anyone already has the connection let us know. i plan to take screen shots of all the posts in this thread and make .pdf and send it tomorrow evening. if anyone knows how to better pull/format then let me know. and thanks tom for the financial sheparding. time to pull together now friends, make it fast. shoulder to the wheel.

I created a PayPal Donate button. If we get enough folks contributing $5 or $10 we should be fine. I'm not sure how much (total) is enough. If someone can let me know what we'll need, I'll pull the page to stop donations once we reach that. Thanks! (I haven't tested it yet since it won't allow me to pay myself.)
