Ish, I would rather you did not bring all this up again. A lot of people contributed a lot to the cause, most of them unrecognized. I know the name of a few people who contributed to Claudia, and I know the name of the people who paid me back. The ones who paid me back did not ask for thanks, but they were you, Constant Reader, Rambi, Sherry Fox, and Croc. Others send money directly to Claudia. Others spent time helping Claudia, for example, it was E who found out about Claudia and would have helped her but had to go out of town. I just took over for E. I was sure I would be repaid. JLA did far more than I did. George went to see Edwarda in the hospital, and so did cgraham, but JLA not only went to the hospital but also helped with doctors and legal matters. Neenny also helped Claudia, with Edwarda's computer, for one thing. Neocon helped email her friends, and so did Kerry Carmichael. Shootie set up the direct payment of funds to Claudia's bank.
I don't know what everyone did for the funeral, and what other things were done, but there are many who deserve recognition and thanks. But it's been a long time now, and I think we should just quit talking about it.
I think bringing it up as a way to hurt people, whether in private, or in public, is horrible, and that's not directed towards you in particular. |
