I have the knick knacks #4900. I never got an address to send them to who bought them. :saludando:

 

[Davie]

This is great news :bgrin

:aktion033: :aktion033: !!!! Thanks to everyone who dontated and bid. I have already sent the Stallion Book out to the winning bidder and have been in contact with the winning bidders of my two stallions service donations.

It is just great to see how much we can accomplish when one of our FOURM FAMILY is in need.

Thanks again to everyone, from those who sent hugs and prayers to those who were able to go see Marty. I know that Marty and her family know how much we love and care for them and they will be back here soon.

Youbetcha! Everyone deserves a standing ovation, we are one heck of a force to be reckoned with!

Holy Cow! I am still having trouble reading threads about Marty and her family-- I end up sobbing. But this was better to read and my tears were happy tears. I bought three gift certificates and wished I could have done more.

If I am having this much trouble dealing with this loss, I can't imagine what the Garrison family is going through.

Thanks to the organizers, all the donors and the buyers too!

That is just outstanding! Just shows what the forum can do when we put our heads together. Don't forget that many people sent private donations straight to Marty. I know Marty will be able to do something really special in Michael's memory.

Is it too late to add other things to the auction? I have an idea.

I have not been active on here for a long time, and I just found out what happened today. There just aren't words. Marty was very supportive of me in some tough times here on the farm, as I know she has been of so many others here on the forum. I hope there is some comfort for her in knowing that so many of us are thinking of her and her family and grieving with them. I am having a hard time following all the related threads, but if someone could guide me to the one that gives information on how to donate, I would be *so* grateful. It is comforting, in such hard times, to see how much love quietly surrounds us.
