Donations in Memory

Recently someone affiliated with my college passed away.  He worked with students throughout his career as an administrator, and even into his retirement he continued to mentor and inspire students, which is when I met him.  When the students were notified of his death, the family asked that instead of sending flowers, we make donations in his honor to the school.  I have heard of families doing this before, and I really like the idea.  Flowers will wilt after a few days and while they are pretty to look at, even a small donation in honor of a great man will do good for a long time.  I plan on sending in a donation tomorrow, and along with the donations of many others whose lives he impacted, I am sure we can continue to make a difference, honoring his memory and his service to our school.
