Flowers For Bob A Funeral From Soul Source Members

Nice one Mike .. have sent via paypal.

Well done Mike.

Peter

Heads-up...PayPal does not support making donation payments from Japanese based accounts...not sure if other countries may also be affected.

Mine went through ok from the UK! Well done Mike that was so easy!

Just read its a Japanese legal thing David

anyone having problems with the insite feature can you let me know via pm and note if needed you can do the below

Send paypal via gift to the email address given in 

https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?app=nexus&module=clients&section=donations

Don't be a muppet like me and put the pound sign before amount, it won't work.

Sorted now and for a good cause.  

Panicked when it said Paypal, as I'm a thicky when it comes to that carry on, plus I can't remember my password, but managed to use a card, so money on the way 

Cheers Mike for sorting this out 

Lets hope we can bring a little comfort to his family & close friends.

Nice one Mike 

Mike,

the donation page link doesn't seem to work - just sends me to the home page of the florist?

thanks for doing this Mike.

A great response!

Many thanks to all who donated

Am now closing the donations  to add up and that

Will post more once have done that

thanks again

mike

Try clicking on the link again Rich, don't click on the Skokie link, just scroll down to the bottom, & there is a donate box in the bottom left hand corner, where you put an amount (no £ signs) & then it takes you to the next page

Hope it works this time

Cheers Alison, that worked, thanks.

just a 'to keep all informed' post

am now just awaiting the shop to confirm - which guess due to time difference will be not till the afternoon

A great response!

Mike, I've only just seen this and would have made a small donation - is it too late?

Cheers

Best hold off just for now, am going to try and get in touch with the family to see if they have details of a suitable charity that I can donate the extra amount recieved and that memberscan donate to if they wish

once have details will post  

cheers

mike

Thanks Mike

Not had a chance to donate until now, maybe any further money could go to one of the charities that has been discussed?

On behalf of Soul Source members I am sending flowers to Chicago for Bob Abrahamians funeral on Tue 10 June 2014

I am using https://www.skokieflorist.net/ as this has been suggested and is close to the funeral home.

As people have expressed a wish to donate, I have set this donation fund up

Due to the time limits will close this at 9am uk time Monday and I will then order flowers from this page that reflect the amount raised and the ceromony.

https://www.skokieflo...-87_144678c.asp

A simple message on behalf of all members will be added,

If any cash is left over then I will pass onto a charity of the familys choice

Donations can be made now va this feature

(If rather you can donate via paypal to telasource@btinternet.com but the above method is prefered )

Do suggest that donations are made bearing in mind the actual cost of the flowers and that this is just a simple way of the site saying fairwell to Bob

This has been setup in a quick but hopefully correct manner.

Do ask that if have any questions or concerns then please do pm me

regards

Mike

 

 

Nice wording Mike. Spot on.

The flowers and wording are perfect, amazing job well done in such a short time ... thanks Mike

Well done Mike for sorting and well done all for donating.

A fitting gesture from our (not so little) little global community.

Peter

Yes mike well done not an easy task but appreciated by everyone.

Wow!!! What an amazing amount in such a short space of time

Lovely words Mike & great choice of flowers

Philly - I'll buy you a drink at the weekend & we'll raise a glass to Boba xx

HI Mike, like the others above I missed this, so if you were putting a balance to a relevant charity I would like to contribute. Apologies for extra hassle, great job on this. 

I know that Some members still hope to donate but isnt So very apt that there were 45 donations

Many Thanks for sorting this Mike

Cheers Paul

Jock and anyone else,

am still waiting word on what charity

but it does makes sense to reopen this so that anyone who wishes can still donate

and as before all funds left after payment of the flowerswill goto the nominated charity (once decided by Bobs family)

thanks

Okay Mike, will sort it out in morning. Cheers

Fantastic Job Mike!

Just a quick heads up for those wishing to donate, but don't have Paypal...

Worry not, you can pay by credit card/debit card via Paypal, without holding a current Paypal account.

Done via Paypal...well done SS.

The current score is am still waiting for the charity to be nominated by the family and also the florist card payment to show up on my  account in £ so can post the full exact details 

once either one of them happens will update this thread

regards

mike

ok got the £ total for the flowers and so can give an updated summary
Amount from last post of the current total =£434
(45 donations totaling £434)
 
Since then have had another 9 donations of a total of £173
 
Total donated CARD PAYMENT TO SKOKIE FLORIST,204.10 USD, RATE 0.59/GBP ON 09-06-2014 NON-STERLING TRANSA £125.12
 
So the current running total  = £434+ £173 = £607 - £125.12 = .£481.88
 
am still awaiting a nominated charity from the family - once have got such will close the fund and pay what ever is the current running total in
thanks

Bobs sister informed me yesterday that the family "are planning to set up a fund in Bob's name, which at the moment we think would be used to help archive and move his collection to an institution. The legal paperwork will still take a couple weeks"

Once get any more details/info will update

Mike

 archive and move his collection to an institution

I'm glad they're thinking of that. I always think it's a shame when a collection gets broken up.

Money or no money always a lot of sweat went into it which shouldn't be denied. In this case A LOT.

The OOwins an AAhins going on in there ( warts an all ) if it gets to public viewing, Priceless!!

a catch up

am closing the donations now

the total raised was 

£627 from 56 donations 

as stated the cost of the flowers was £125.12

So this leaves £501.88 (£627 - £125.12)

For a matter of record will post up a list of all the donations and the date but as this was set up in rush due to the time limitations, do feel there may be privacy issues if posted more info than this.

This all means that the donations are now closed and once the new trust/fund is open i will then pay the sum of £501.88 into it

Reference the fund, I have had news of Jenny (Bobs sister) and will post this news up later 

Again many thanks to all who donated

mike

Have posted list of donations as said in the earlier post

can view it here

any q's or such then please use that thread or via pm

thanks

mike

Just an update that have just transferred the sum into the fund paypal account setup by Jenny

This is just a quick confirmation that Bob Abrahamian Charitable Fund accepted the 501.88 GBP payment you sent on23 Jul 2014.

Please note that it may take a little while for this payment to appear in the Recent Activity list on your Account Overview.

Jenny will pass on shortly details of the fund including how people can make future donations

As the site donation side has now all been squared away  then would just like to say again...

Many thanks to all 

thanks

mike

that's now a legacy mike, by which bob will always be remembered.
