Shelby memorial fund

In addition to the t-shirt sales, a memorial fund has been set up at all Forum Credit Unions. Here is the info on the two ways you can help them out....
Memorial Fund JEREMIAH PARKER SHELBY Our Brookside church pastor, Aaron Shelby, and his wife Beth welcomed Jeremiah Parker Shelby January 4th then released him to be with Jesus approximately one hour later.....Due to the financial cost of a funeral, two different options have been set up for friends and family to contribute to the family....
1. Memorial Fund
* ALL Donations will go directly to the Shelby Family to cover funeral expenses. If the financial blessing outweighs the cost, the remaider of the proceeds will be forwarded to the trisomy 13 charity of the parents choice.
* Donations are being accepted at all FORUM CREDIT UNION branches. Just go into the branch and give them jeremy's name and tell them it is for a memorial fund....After the funeral services...all money will be released to the Shelby's so please make your contributions prior to that date. All donations will be anonymous.
Here is a link of all their locations... http://www.forumcu.com/locations/default.aspx
2. Fashionthropic T-Shirt in memory of Jeremiah has been designed and about Half of the total cost goes directly to the shelby's to help them cover expenses...This is a GREAT way to help out and have an item to remember him by.....
Also you may check out their blog to be updated on any funeral arrangements...I am sure they will be posting them there... http://www.shelbyfamily09.blogspot.com

Shirt with a good cause

Some great people @ Fashionthropic have put together a "1 loved forever" shirt with proceeds going to the Jeremiah Parker Shelby memorial fund. The shirt reads: in 1 hour he loved perfectly and changed our lives forever / Jeremiah 29:11 passage / Jeremiah Parker Shelby. The shirts are made out of Ohio so there is plenty of time to order and wear to services should you see appropriate. Please feel free to pass this info onto anyone you think would be interested!

This weekend...

So this last weekend was a hard one for the Doll House. Our good friends the Shelby's welcomed a beautiful baby boy named Jeremy and got to enjoy him for a short hour before he went home to be with the Lord. We have been blessed to get to know the Shelby's through our church life group and are inspired by their faith daily. This group means the world to both Rob and I. Check out this post and you will get a feel for what our group is all about. I am putting together meals for the Shelby family so if you are in the Indy area and want to help out email me k3miller@aol.com. Please pray for the Shelby family during this difficult time.
