Sgt. Deeley and I want to thank everyone for the support we are receiving by the community. Based on the overwhelming support we have raised the goal to cover ALL expenses for the funeral arrangements. They are being made today, (05/13/2015). I will advise of the arrangements when I receive them.
Any additional monies collected will go to a scholarship of some sort for students.
The total raised in one day is currently $8,685 raised by 265 donors and the goal has been raised to $12,000.
