I AND MY DEAR WIFE THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS

Buying flowers is a great idea

Now some ideas of my own

I would like to spend some of the money on a plot in the local crem to bury zoltan (darren)s ashes so we have some were to visit him and take flowers and things.

The rest of the money will go to the T.C.T.U.

zoltan (darren) is to be cremated on thursday 07/10/2004 at 14.00hrs at parndon wood crem harlow essex you are all more than welcome to come.

Could the forums be closed at the time of Zoltans fruneral as a mark of respect from every one on these forums. Especially those that can not attend?

Slackworth · 1 Oct 2004 at 23:44

I don't see why not. I'll post something in the DR and get those nice admins to have a look.

agw_01 · 1 Oct 2004 at 23:46

I was just wondering, is there an address where members could send a card or something?

Just a thought, so no worries if it isn't possible.

Nice to see you are well Zoltan's Dad.

My best wishes go to you and your family.

I was thinking about this, and it would be a nice mark of respect.

How about a small splash page (similar to the WTC disaster ones) which then lead onto the forums. Just some info about Darren and his brave fight which has inspired and touched so many members. Would also help people who may have missed everything that's gone on recently to understand.

Edit : Just read back a few pages and realised how much was actually raised. As gilly said, what a community.

Do we have an update after the RR?

derthballs · 4 Oct 2004 at 12:52

i think closing the forums at the time of his funeral is a wonderful idea

2k plus easily

dont know the exact figure though, the RR yielded £200 on its own

-westy- · 4 Oct 2004 at 23:14

gilly made an announcement, not many people heard

apparently it was at £2100, with at least another £100 to come.

i'm amazed at people's generosity, its fantastic, makes me really proud to be a member here.
