I would love to, but it goes against the request of the family. i'm torn.

let me explain further...I have worked for 3 years in the "death care industry." One more than on occassion, the families requested donations to go to a specific place or charity. When people would give other donations, they were appreciated, but not at the request of the family. I dont know. It just didn't go across well.

What is important to Mrs. Goddard, may not have been equally important to Mr. Goddard. He may have stated in his will exactly where the money was to go. And, by giving it to the church, they are able to collect it all and give one large donantion in his honor, per his last requests. Does that make sense?

i'm sure Mrs. Goddard would be honored either way. I'm just trying to consider his wishes.
