Donations, Please Help.
 
Hi all, I'm writing this to let you know, that in lieu of flowers, a fund has been set up for Rhonda's little granddaughter, Taylor. Many of you have seen her picture. In case you do not know, Rhonda's daughter Jess's husband Jim Hume was killed by a hit and run driver. And, of course, little 4 year old Taylor lost her daddy. Many of you have asked what you can do, so I'm letting you know that a Trust Fund, has been set up through the Dobbs Funeral Home to help with all the overwhelming expenses.

If you wish to donate, please make your checks payable to:

Taylor Hume Trust Fund -- Dobbs Funeral Home.

Here is the address & phone:

Dobbs Funeral Home
430 North Kirkman Road
Orlando, FL 32811
(407) 578-7720

Services are at 11:00am on Friday for James Hume. (Jim was only 34 years old.)

Samhass will also be at Crisper's on Friday if anyone wants to make donations at that time, instead of sending.

Thank you.

Chels..Are there only 34 permitted to attend the funeral?

Hyacinth Bucket 11-19-2008 04:18 PM

Hi Donna,

He was only 34 years old.

As many of Rhonda's and Ed's friends who want to attend the funeral are more than welcome.

These are truly trying times for the whole family.

Rhonda's Address
 
Rhonda is going back and forth, but I did manage to speak to her.

If anyone wants her home address, please pm me. I just do not want to post it publicly. Thanks.

Donna 11-19-2008 06:16 PM

Guess it was a blonde moment...:sigh:

Such a sudden saddness for Rhonda and her little family, and yet such a wonderful opportunity for friends to return the kindness and love, Rhonda has shown to so many.

Final bump. Today is the funeral. :(

I am on extended travel and do not have my check book. Will the funeral home accept donations next week?

graciegirl 11-21-2008 01:09 PM

I wrote a check and put it in a card and gave it to Barefoot who is going to the funeral. I made the check to Rhonda. I know Rhonda's last name but couldn't find her address in the telephone book. But if anyone wants to do that, send a personal PM to Chelsea who knows her address.

samhass 11-21-2008 01:53 PM

At Crispers I will put out a basket marked with Rhonda's name. If you wish to contribute, please do. I will announce how much was donated at the end of the luncheon. I will not be going around asking for donations. The basket will be there for those that wish to donate.

Hi Jojo, that is very kind of you. I'm sure you can send it to the Funeral Home next week also. Also, if you want Rhonda's home address, please pm me.

Thanks.

Yes, Gracie, vetman and I just returned from the service. So heartbreaking. So many young people, all crying. Jimmy was dearly loved.

samhass 11-21-2008 05:28 PM

Thank you for posting the name of the funeral home for those wishing to make donations.

KathieI 11-21-2008 05:31 PM

It was a very moving service. Jimmy must've been an extremely interesting guy to have been loved by so many. The sobbing and crying amongst his friends was very sad. The tributes were wonderful and full of love for him.

Very sad, to be so young and taken away in that manner. Very shocking I'm sure for all his family and friends. I'm glad we went to represent Rhonda's friends from TOTV.

What a terrible tragedy for our great friend Rhonda. Chelsea please pm me with Rhonda's address (and her last name) so that I can send a check.

It was such a sad service. Jimmy was so young and taken very suddenly.

Hold your loved ones close.

nONIE 11-21-2008 08:10 PM

I am so sorry I could not attend. I was on a flight back home today. However I have sent Ronda a card and check to her home address to be put toward the trust for Taylor.

My thoughts and prayers were certainly with the family today. Wonderful advice about our loved ones Bare.

Donna 11-21-2008 09:51 PM

Ronda..
It was amazing to see just how many lives Jimmy touched..He certainly had lots of dear friends..He must have been a slice of life..

The service was sad and very touching..Jimmy's love of life will live on, through all who knew and loved him!

We will continue to keep you and Jimmy's family in our prayers..

Blondie 11-22-2008 12:28 AM

Rhonda,
I wish I could have been at the service for Jimmy, but I said a prayer for all of you today. I sent a check to the Funeral Home for Taylor. Hope to see you soon.
Love Makes All Things New Again
