A Fund For Jessica

Hi all, to be upfront and honest, I have not read all the posts regarding sweet Jessica's passing. I will, once I get home from work; my sorrow is so incredibly great and I just know I would not be able to get through them without completely breaking down.

I choose to remember golden-girl Jess as the vivacious, caring, genuine soul whose heart belonged to those beautiful fur/feathered kids Jordan, Jewels, and Tiki. Her love for them was elegantly -excitedly- enrapped in the words of each of her posts. With that being said, I propose this (and hope I haven't snatched someone else's idea):

I propose we start a fund, a donation, to an animal rescue organization of some sort. This can be either a breed specific foundation or something all encompassing like Best Friends.

Please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in; once we have an idea of what/where we want the donations to go, I can arrange the fund.

Let's keep Jessica's spirit, her zest for life, and concern for animals alive.

I think that is such a sweet idea. The people that knew her best might be able to give us an idea on what would be the most appropriate thing to do.

Count me in! I can't think of a better way to honor her memory.

I think this a great idea and agree that a bird rescue organization would be the best. Count me in!! I know that some organizations allow you to sponsor pets. Don't know how this works but I think it's worth consideration.

I'm all for somethng like that.

I was thinking something along the same line too. Maybe you could find the name of the organization and we could send the donations individually, making it easier on you.....

Let us know.

Sounds like a great idea, Zippy, and thanks for volunteering to set it up. And even though I didn't know her that well, it seemed Tiki was the light of her life, so I think some sort of bird rescue would be very appropriate.

Wonderful idea, Zippy!
Jessica will be pleased to be Remembered this way!

Count us IN!

And yes, Best Friends *does* Birds!
