Hi everyone,

Chris received the money and has picked out a headstone with Francisco's mom. He wishes he could thank everyone individually but is dealing with a lot right now, and isn't on the board often. He promises to come back soon, maybe talk about some PJ/EV shows Below is the note Chris sent me, posted with his permission. Thank you everyone again for your contributions. We were able to make a huge difference to Francisco's family with just a small gesture on our parts.

From Chris (chrishermano3):
Just took Francisco's family to a place where we basically created a headstone. The reason that there's two books is because the spot where he is buried is specifically for two people, so his mother is going to be buried with him and eventually her stone will be filled in (though nothing is in her book for superstitious reasons) I found it cool that they wanted to put beloved brother (he actually has no brothers or sisters) because he was so close to his cousins and friends as if they were brothers. The man at the place was very knowledgeable when it came to creating the headstone, he knew that because of where Francisco was located he had to get a specific headstone with specific measurements and everything, so we got all of that done. He also gave us 10% off of the headstone because of what we (including mainly all of you awesome 10c members) did for Francisco. I just want to thank you so much for all that you have done and sorry for being absent its really hard right now with everything going on
Also I attached the basic picture of his headstone. It only cost $1,200 and the rest went towards the setting fee at the cemetery ($350) with a little leftover for his mom, plus all of the iTunes money that will be coming in next month. And the headstone will be at his grave in approximately 8-10 weeks!

Thank you all so very much, especially you Su May, you inspired me and his family to be the best people we can be, and great things will come your way. What you did was amazing and I hope for the best for you

To be able to see Francisco's mother's face when I told her the headstone was being paid for was amazing and I wish you could have seen it.

Thank you very much Su May
