Hey, buds, sorry to be dragging my feet on this.  I've had a heavy work schedule lately, and very little time and energy to answer your questions.

I think it is best to give all the money to the David Wirrpanda Foundation, since only one person voted in the poll for splitting the donation, and the Wirrpanda organization is a very fitting recipient.  We know Heath was an active supporter as well as a friend of David Wirrpanda, and it celebrates his Australian roots as well.

I've asked Phillip to write to the Foundation about how to send the funds and suggested he donate the money directly from BetterMost.  It totals $1,175.00, after deducting $300.00 for the condolence notices. 

Around $85.00 should be left for flowers to be sent on Heath's birthday to Karrakatta Cemetery.  Since Peachy lives several hours away from Perth, I think this is better than having her make the trek there to float the flowers off Cottesloe Beach, as nice an idea as that is.  Besides, I'm hoping the cemetery will notify the family that the flowers were received.

I hope this sounds like a good course of action to everyone.  It's been great to be a part of this effort to honor our beloved Heath.  :-*

This is fantastic, Meryl! Thank you for summarizing everything.  :-*

Sounds great, Meryl. Thank you again for all your work on this, and thanks to Peachy in Australia for coordinating things "down under."

I should imagine that floating the flowers from the beach might be difficult, they will be brought back by the waves - unless it can be done further into the sea from a pier or from a boat. The cemetary is probably a more feasible option.

Thank you Mery and Peachy :-*
