I think I've recieved all of the donations. Liette and Jeff's snail mail cash came in today. If anyone else sent anything, let me know ASAP. Thanks all! I only managed to send mine today I was going on Saturday afternoon but I found out it closed at midday and I hadn't made the time since. If you're buying something or whatever with the money now then just pretend you have $10 more, and the $10 will be made up when it arrives to you, hopefully next week if the post service is functioning. Once again I apologize for not being able to send beforehand Another reason why I sent it late was that I had the envelope all ready to post with a 50p stamp on it (which I had spare)... then I went to the Post Office website to double check the pricing (as I last checked it in December) and it said it would cost 54p... so I had to make another trip to the post office to buy 2*2p stamps lol Aww.. It's ok! Thanks for letting me know!

Hey all.. Thanks again for everything.
We rounded up a bunch of stuff for Wendy and her family... I sent everything to Meredith. She's gonna check everything out and send a package to Wendy. Once Wendy get's the package, we'll let yall know what we ended up getting for her and her children.

Thanks for the update Matt. I've been wondering how things were going. Any word on how the family are making out?

OK! So I picked up the package today and I must say that the jewelry is so Beautiful, Nel really really really made some gorgeous stuff! Mrs. Larson will be so happy with everything! I think it all turned out perfectly and It almost made me cry knowing how everything we are sending is going to touch her heart and her children's hearts. I bought some nice packaging and labels in pretty summer colors to send it. I also wrote a short letter. I basically told her that all of us here, (including the band) really felt like doing something for her and the kids and that Jon will really be missed and will always be remembered. I told her that if she ever need to talk that we are here for her. On the FROM: Label I put THE BLIND MELON FORUM so she knows what it is when she gets the package.
I really think getting this care package of wonderful gifts and wonderful tributes to Jon will definately warm her heart.

Everything sounds like it came together so perfectly. I wish we could see their expressions when they see our Melon Love in a package. what a great place this is. that everyone could come together. To this day I still find myself thinking of Jon and his family. I only knew one other person that spelled his name that way, who happens to be a Real good childhood friend of mine. So from the beginnin i was drawn to him, even from something as simple as that. Then of course getting to know him was something special. I just want to say that i'm very glad to have met all of you thus far. & looking forward to getting to know each of you a lil better, as well as getting to meet some new fans that will come out of the new album(s) & tour.

Right back atcha Kevin, and all of you! It's times like these that we stop to think about all the things we take for granted in life. LOVE YOU ALL! Mere, if you still have the package could you take some pics to show us after Wendy gets the stuff? I'd love to see what everything looked like. I think it'll really warm her heart to know that Jon touched so many people he's never even met, and that we're thinking about them.

I'm so proud to be a member of this forum. The thread Sharing is Caring really rings true for me today and Jon's wife will know that we really care about her and her family. Thanks for doing an awesome job Matt & Mere
