Mark Strauch (Markadeck)

As all of you know our friend and brother Mark passed away this week. Pat has been in close contact with his family and really went above and beyond keeping all of us informed. I want to personally thank him for doing this for all of us.

Mark wasn't a flower type of person, unless it was made of wood in the shape of a deck. We are going to send an arrangement of flowers to the memorial service from FTE and The RHN. I will cover the cost of the arrangement.

To help defray the expenses we want to take up a collection for Marks' family to use as they see fit. They still have to move some of them from NC. This includes his motorhome.

Dan (danskool) lives in Buffalo and is going to Mark's Memorial Service. He has offered to allow us to use his Pay Pal account and then present a check to Mark's family.

Thank You

My feeling is the amount is a personal thing and of no real importance...it is the thought for Mark that has real value. The amount all depends on your personal finances...remember a $100 from a millionaire is less of a donation than $10 from someone having a hard time financially.
