I have some updates regarding memorials for Patrick.

 

Shawn and Heidi have decided on a small family service, primarily because Patrick never liked being the center of attention and they want to honor what they believe would be his wishes.

 

In lieu of flowers, Shawn and Heidi have asked that you donate to the American Thyroid Association (ATA) since Hashimoto's disease contributed to his death.  I spoke with the ATA this morning and, at their suggestion, we set up a GoFundMe campaign in Patrick's memory.  You can find more information at In Memory of Patrick Russell.

 

If you have any questions, please leave them in a comment to this journal entry and I will reply.

 

Thank you for your support during this difficult time.
