I know many of us cannot make it to Lisa’s funeral on Saturday. I’ve been reading loads of comments and emails from people who wish they could go. I thought a virtual memorial service might be the way to go for many of us.
I hope you’ll join us this Saturday afternoon at 4:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM Pacific, for a special show dedicated to sharing stories about Lisa. It’s a talk show at Talkshoe.com, where you can come, join in the chatroom action, call in to the show and talk about Lisa, and listen to many of Lisa’s friends do the same.
We’ll also raise more donations for Lisa’s family during the show.
If you’re not familiar with Talkshoe, go register now. It’s a fast sign-up that’ll make things much easier for you to join the show Saturday afternoon.
I’ve scheduled for two hours, though we’ll run as long as we need to.
Showtime: 4:00 PM Eastern, Saturday, March 7
Link for the show
Call in number: 724-444-7444
Please spread the word. I hope to see you there.
EDIT: Thanks to @cheekysweetie for pointing me in this direction…you can now have meals delivered to Lisa’s family through Make & Take Gourmet, which is in their local area.
Call 610-376-2006, ask for Kimberly. Tell them you’d like to have a meal delivered to Lisa Kelly’s house. Meals with 1 entree and 2 sides start at $25. They have Lisa’s address, you just have to mention what day you’d like the meal delivered. I scheduled a delivery for Friday and I know John and the girls can use all the home-cooked meals they can get.

Hey gang. Just got off the phone with Dude and he’s feeling brain dead and like he’s on autopilot. Understandable.
Here are the funeral arrangements for Lisa for those that wish to go or send flowers.
Lisa Gift Kelly
Saturday, March 7th
1:00 PM
Immaculate Conception church, 905 Chestnut St, Douglasville, PA
DONATIONS
Right, thanks to all of you that have emailed me and left comments requesting a way to donate to Lisa’s family. There are a couple of ways to go about this:
Use the Donation Button on Lisa’s Donations page. I’ve changed the Paypal address over to her husband’s address so he has access to the account.
Flowers are wonderful, of course, but for those that want to donate to causes close to Lisa’s heart, perhaps you’d care to view the list of organizations on her Ovarian Cancer page. A donation in her name would be great.
I hope this gives you a couple of options for those of you that want to do something more. John appreciates all the kind words and support. He says the girls are doing well.

A lot of you are asking how you can help Lisa’s family and the short answer, for the time being, is I don’t know. I’m working on it. There’s a Donations page on Lisa’s blog, but after talking with the Dude on the phone, he doesn’t have access to that Paypal account, and he’s not sure if Lisa left him any notes about the account or not.
So for now, please don’t use the Donations page because I don’t know if Dude will have access to the money.
I think we’ll strive to get a new Paypal account in the near future for those that wish to help financially. Right now, Dude is really sick with a stomach virus, so the last thing he wants to do is set up bank routing information with Paypal.
Be patient and we’ll figure something out. He sounds like he’s in agony, Dude, and says he thinks Lisa is actually doing better off than he is at the moment.
For now, lots of prayers and good wishes are plenty.
