How to contribute to sending flowers/condolences to Australia

[Kelda]

i just wanted to say that the notice in the paper was absolutely beautiful.
well done to all who made it happen.
this is my first ever post on any type of message board/forum/site, i'm usually the quite one that sits back and reads and never knows what to write. But after reading the post on IMDB ( containing the link to here a site i never new existed), the entire 32 pages of this thred and then with the warm welcome message to new Aussie members. i felt i had to express how moved i was by the way every one came together to show they cared.

Welcome Bec! 

Our notice is in The West again today at the top of a column.  There were about six altogether for Heath.

Do you know if the post the condolence messages( just can't say the "O"word still to raw for me) on the Wests internet site?

[Peachy]

It doesn't look like it, Rory.  I found property classifieds and such, but not the 'O' ones.   The site is www.thewest.com.au

Thanks, Peachy!  When you get a chance, maybe you can scan the new page so we can see the surrounding messages.  Snoopy, me?  Nah! 

Also, let me know the final cost of the two ads so I can forward that to you. 

[Peachy]

Just emailed you, Snoopy - sorry, Meryl!

Thank you Peachy, Rory, Kelda, Berit.

Everybody,

I was reading Michelle's statement on another thread and I was wondering if we could maybe place an obituary in which we pay our respects to her and Matilda in a New York paper? God, it just broke my heart to read her statement

I was thinking this may have gotten lost on another page. What do you all think of this idea?

I reckon that Michelle will be in Perth for the funeral and will see the notice placed for 'family and friends'-she'll know it's for her too. 

I am just glad the our notice was next to one of the family's notices.  It's nice to think that ours will be seen and the family may visit us-and know how loved he was.

I agree with that, Sandy.

I think we should stick with the original plan of 2 notices in the Perth region paper, flowers, and a donation to a charity. For the donation, in my view giving it to either programmes for kids with AIDS or to some sort of cultural/acting programme for kids would be great. Michelle's statement and her loving description of little Matilda made me think that it would somehow honour all 3 of them if the donation went to children who need a helping hand, either due to illness or for other reasons.
