Thanks Baddog. I appreciate the offer. My brother is basically in charge of all this. I am trying to do what I can to reduce all the stress on him. I was merely stating that without an obituary written, it does help put skepticism into the minds of those that question the integrity of the post.

however what is up with people resorting to crowdfunding whenever someone dies or something bad happens? is this the new normal?

Thanks. It has been rough. As for the "crowdfunding" idea, at least for me... It was started as a way to reach out to friends and family that are not from the area and want to show support. This is one of the reasons I get frustrated because I have a large family and not many have shown support, for whatever reasons.

Thank you for the condolences.
For me, working online, I find myself with more of an online presence with online co workers and friends. It is my community. Had I worked in a brick and mortar business perhaps I would pass a collection plate for those that would like to contribute to her burial. It is a great way to show support for those we love. So as not to lay one giant burden on just one person. We all come together and do what we can to lessen the burden on those grieving.
Perhaps many folks here do not know nor have ever met her. Though they may have met me or done business with me.
Not asking for charity so much as help to not let this all come down on my brother. I have done what I can financially and this is just one more thing I can do to help.
Not proud to bring it to GFY. I am not ashamed either. It's just a tad awkward being adult, though she was fully aware of what I do for a living and has been supportive of that. so...
