Regarding the Blind Melon Forum's contribution to Shannon Hoon's 2008 Vigil, Nel had that following to say: DEAR MATT, I RECEIVED THE GENEROUS CHECK FROM YOU AND THE BLIND MELON FORUM.I WAS HONORED, AND PROUD TO BE THE RECIPIENT OF SUCH A KIND AND THOUGHTFUL ACT. THE VIGIL IS A LABOR OF LOVE FOR ME,BUT IT DOES TAKE MONEY,AND THIS ENDOWMENT WILL SAVE ME A LOT OF FINANCIAL WORRY, AND MAKE THE MISSION SO MUCH EASIER. ON THE SAME TRAIN OF THOUGHT YOUR EFFORT IN PROMOTING MY JEWELRY SITE REALLY INCREASED MY BUSINESS.I HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING UP WITH THE ORDERS,THANK YOU. I CAN'T SAY IT OFTEN ENOUGH THE FANS OF SHANNON AND BLIND MELON ARE SOME OF THE MOST THOUGHTFUL, AND RESOURCEFUL PEOPLE TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE.THEY PROVE IT TIME AFTER TIME,AND MATT YOU PERSONALLY EXHIBIT THE THOUGHTFUL SPIRIT OF BLIND MELON. I THANK YOU,AND BLIND MELON FORUM MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. PEACE AND LOVE nel

For all of the people who didn't donate anything... Don't feel bad. Posting here, and supporting the band, as well as Nel and the Vigils, is donation enough! She thanks each and every one of us.

This is a picture of Nel from a store she was shopping in for her jewelry needs while in Burlington, Vermont visiting our friend, Amber aka Soul. This is friom the last year. She is a wonderful, warm, generous, loving person. The kind you could hope to meet....being Shannon's mom is like the gravy! This is a favorite of mine!

I feel bad I was too afraid to say more than "Hi" to her at the vigil last year. It was kinda a big deal to me, like 'Man, that's Shannon's mommy.'
I got kind of emotional about being there in the first place, so that didn't help with my shyness.
I'll be sure to say more than hi this year, ^_^

She seems like the nicest person in the world. I'm glad the forum could help her out as she has been holding the vigil every year and greeted each one of us like her very close friends.

I've met Nel and had the opportunity to speak with her on the phone. She is a genuine and wonderfully strong woman. I'm thrilled that we were able to finally do something for her. It always seems like she's the one doing things for us!
