She had no insurance.She had no children. Only her four cats and a tiny poodle.People have rallied around and given money to help pay for her funeral and friends have stepped forward to form a human chain from Ohio to all the way to Florida to place them. One of our dearest DU members, OneGrassRoot,has offered to drive them part way on this journey! Moments like this give me hope in humanity. They still need to raise money for a car rental and gas for our DUer. Roughly $100. I just donated $25 and am tight and poor. : > (. If you are inclined and trusting....small gifts can be sent to (deleted now) to her friend Dawn....who has arranged this with the help of our Wishadoo friend. Here is her obit.http://www.starkmemorial.com/sitemaker/sites/STARKM1/obit.cgi?user=864614Burson

It is comforting to know that there are many kind people in this world.
