He was wearing a shirt and tie and his riding gloves. His mother was a religious person and told us to go to church more often His family donated his organs, so his bones will provide bone grafts for 150 people, his heart will help a heart attack victim, his veins will help 6 people.

I was worried about explaining the relationship we had. I told her that we've been talking to him every day for the past 10 years but that most of us hadn't met him in person. His mom got it right away, she totally understood.

I'm not donating to a forum's branding effort. None of them were at the service today anyways, just the three of us from what we saw.
Thank you.

And, thank you Bill.
