First I want to say how happy I am to know such a wonderful group of compassionate women. You have all made my heart glad. Thank You!

For those who are in the dark about this situation please refer to the following threads.

Here are my thoughts.
Many have expressed a concern to donate monies to a scholarship program or to the music department of the school etc. These are all wonderful ideas! But my first thought is to the surviving husband and family. Do they have the means for funeral expenses, medical bills etc. So, do you think that first we should be concerned with these matters and send our donations to the family so they can take care of what ever needs have come about at this time? Please either post your response or FM me.

What we at LIWeddings and NYCityWeddings would like to do is set up a special page that you can make your donations then we will match your donations up to $2000.

Let me know your thoughts
Ron and Liz

Thanks so much Ron! You are the best! I think to the family is most important, we want to do as much as we can to help get her husband back on his feet, and he needs to know all the love that we here at LIW have for him, his wife, his family and their loss...
