I think anything we can do at anytime today (and in the next few days still) will help. Even if you can only send a check or MO. you can still at least call and tell them the check will be in the mail.
I just called, Melinda answered, she said they will be open at 8:00. I'm not sure what the zone is but they are an hour later then EST, so 2 hours earlier then Cali time.
And thanks LRS, every little bit helps!
Melinda will not be in the the office todays, she was the overnight emergency answering service, so either ask for Renee or anyone that answers will know what is going on and can help you out.

The number again:
501-661-9111
And tell them it is for the William McDade fund

And you can still PM me, I will be calling in this morning with more donations

Thanks again for all you have done, this means a lot to Glen and his family

Done! 8)

Just got off the

with Malinda (she just happened to answer). She is very nice, and I told her that they were very patient and understanding allowing us all to call in like this..

On side note, i asked if she was getting calls from all over the country, and she said "from coast to coast"

I'm going to make a call with the last paypals I got.

Glen stay strong

Lady Di · « **Reply #66 on:** Mar 07, 2006, 08:20:50 AM »

I asked Glen to call me when he gets out of there and let me know that everything went smoothy

Lady Di · « **Reply #67 on:** Mar 07, 2006, 08:44:51 AM »

I just called with the latest paypals I had gotten and spoke to Melinda, without trying to pry I asked her what time the burial was being held. She said it was already held at 10am and that everything went smoothly!!

You guys ROCK!!

Melinda wanted the link to the thread so she could post up thanks as well.

But I have to say: Melinda, no, THANK YOU!

You were a big help and I'm sure everyone there did everything possible to make this sad time a little more pleasant for the McDade family.

Diane

Melinda,
I am, of my own choice, between jobs right now. I’ve only got a couple of hundred bucks to hold me over 2 or 3 more weeks. I did give a little money, but when I get more can I contact you to give more? It’s not like I’ll be able to take care of the rest, I guess that depends on the balance, but I can certainly pop for at least a couple hundred more.
It warms the cockles of my heart to see what has happened here. People connected only by this BBS coming together to help a total stranger, in my case anyway.
Not many places in the world would this happen. I love this country!
Melinda, please accept my/our thanks for your help and extend those thanks to the rest of your co-workers.
Mark

So lets ramp-up! Glen and the family got through today with the help of the

But they aren't out of the woods.
I know a lot of people were waiting on paydays, or income from parts they are selling.
[EDIT]
If you can/want to give it's not too late.
I just spoke to Melinda, we will still be sending donations to the funeral home to help get this paid off.
You can still PM me to get paypal info and I will get it to the funeral home, or you can call the funeral home directly with a credit card payment.
501-661-9111
Ask for Melinda and/or tell them it is for the William McDade fund

Doin' a great job guys and guys!!

You should be very proud of yourselves.

I just PM'D glen and told him to let me know if there is an outstanding balance. and I'd see what I could do at that time.

Wow, Rockscrambler, that is very generous of you, but it's still up there.
Last word, under 'the1Melinda's' post from above (that is the funeral home receptionist) is the outstanding balance stood at $2268.87, but there are still donations coming in.
I've gotten a few more paypal payments with others waiting for payday to be able to help out.
You can call Melinda at the funeral home and she will give you the current outstanding amount at any time.

This just in... I told my co-worker, Bill, what was going on just out of conversation. He doesn't even know Glen or anything about the board except for me regaling him with tales of the Mammoth and he just gave me a ten-spot to put towards the cause.
It does my old heart good to see so many good people out there and over here!

the1melinda · « **Reply #76 on:** Mar 07, 2006, 12:11:43 PM »

I just met with Glen a little while ago and told him and wanted to pass it along to you guys too that I will be taking money for this account as long as we need to. I am not about to put any pressure or deadline on this family or you guys ('cause you guys are sooooo awsome!) If you want to call in your donation by CC I will be more than happy to take it. I am at the funeral home Monday through Friday 8am until 4pm (that is Arkansas time) or you can mail it in to Griffin Leggett Healey and Roth, attn: Melinda Johnson, 5800 West 12th Street, Little Rock, AR 72204. Just stick a little note in there so I will know what it is for. Thanks again you guys for being the greatest group of people I have yet to meet.

blackdiamond · « **Reply #77 on:** Mar 07, 2006, 12:18:11 PM »

I couldn't resist giving the1melinda a turtle point. Maybe it will spark her interest and she will soon be a Toyota owning member of the board.

Has anyone quoted the Golden Rule yet?

Glen, my condolences to you and your family. I don't post much, but do read a lot. You've helped a lot of people along the way...between tech advice and friendly words, your contribution to this board is far more than a couple grand. I hope we're able to come through for you.

You know, it is incredible how a great group like the folks on this board have banded together for a good cause!! Glen has contributed so much to this board, and without a thought, many people who have never even met geln in person are donating to him and his family in their time of need. I too donated, but I would like to thank everyone on here who has, and Melinda and the others at the funeral home, for showing what true human kindness and compassion are!!!

Everyone of you who has given, pledged to give, or is planning to give, you are all awesome!!! $Beer Chug\'n$

the1melinda · « **Reply #81 on:** Mar 07, 2006, 01:31:58 PM »

Just thought I would post an update we are now down to a balance of $2193.87. Going great! I have been raising some funds myself with my family and friends and so hopefully tomorrow it will be even lower.
Thanks for the turtle points....this is my first message board...so bare with me as I get the hang of it.
Again you guys ROCK!!!!

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #82 on:** Mar 07, 2006, 01:45:18 PM »

I am going to scan some of the pictures we have of Dad, so that all of you can see who he was and how much we all loved him

Melinda, you and James are are the awesome ones, God Bless you all.
