+sweetlife Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 We will continue to keep them all in our prayers. There is no pain that compares to the loss of a child. It is so hard to say this, but when one dies and passes on there is room for a new birth, new life, hope the family will have another child, knowing that the loss child will never be able to be replaced or ever forgotten. We have a Aunt that lost a child and since has never been right mentally ever since the tragidy happened. We are always there for her. It is hard and the most devistating thing a parent/parents ever got to face in life is loosing their children. Parenst always feel that they are to pass away before their children do. We have been praying for Dustin and his family since reading this post, and for you Kelly for loosing a friend/family member. We send our sympathies. We are so lost for words....Hope this sounds right. Barry and Valsweetlife Quote Link to comment

+BRoKeN W Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sorry it took me a bit to list the Bikedog coin, had a whole bunch of things going on at home all at once. Bikedog Memorial Geocoin (Copper) All the auctions that ended before Monday and were paid for before then, were shipped on Monday. The other auctions that have ended and have been paid for, I will try to ship asap. I ran out of stamps and we've been getting a lot of snow lately (with very poor snow removal, so the roads are very slick) so I haven't had a chance to buy stamps. Thanks for everything!

+BRoKeN W Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Got donations in from 57Chevy and BolingbrookJoe today. I will get those auctions listed sometime tonight (got to study for a midterm exam right now). Looks like that is the last of the donations I was expecting (unless fairhoney's square that she donated wins). Thanks for everyone's help! Quote Link to comment

+BRoKeN W Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 The majority of the coins that have been bought and paid for have been shipped. The ones that were paid for last night will ship on Monday. These auctions have been such a success.. Much more than I ever could have expected. I have been informed that I will be getting more coin donations in, so expect a few more auctions to come up soon. At this time, I think I will put a close on seeking coin donations, so I can focus on finishing up these auctions, as well as getting the money to the McClure family. Not to mention I've been slacking on my school work (oops). I really cannot express how grateful I am to be a part of this amazing community. You guys/gals really banded together to help out a family you didn't even know and who aren't even geocachers. I really appreciate that. You all can be proud in knowing that by the time all these auctions end, that there will be a very generous amount of money going to help this family (I will post that amount once the auctions are done). Thank you all! Kelly Quote Link to comment

Dustin's father is serving a prison sentence in upper Idaho (which makes Dustin's mom a single mother for the time being). I'm just glad that the judge granted Dustin's father 10 days to be with Dustin during his final days. ------------------------- On another note, all the auctions that have been paid for have been mailed out.

+sweetlife Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello and wanted to say we are so glad that we won the Auction for the AE bug coin on Ebay. We are honored to have this coin in our coloection as well as donating a family in need for medical expenses. When we heard that this little boy passes away and the family lost their son that brouight tears to our eyes. No parents should ever have to face a horrible thing like this in life. Parenst always tell us that they hope nothing ever happened to us as they will never to be able to go on in life if something happeneds to us. We are very close and always tell each other that we love one another whenever we see each other or even by talking on the phone. You never when yours or someone last day will ever be and we do it because at least in our hearts that is our way of always getting a chance to say a goodbye and they know we think of them often. The Family will always be in our hearts and prayers. And your son will never be forgotten. Val and Barry sweetlife Quote Link to comment
+Woodland Clan Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 We received the coins we won in the auction to benefit Dustin's family in todays mail. I love both of the coins. Beautiful design to both. I am glad to have them as part of our collection. We will be sending out the Robins egg with a mission that will highlight potential hazard of small objects. Dustin will not be forgotten. Quote Link to comment
