Kevin - please do not feel bad about posting that gofundme link here. I believe, based on tvbarn tenure, you have the right to post it here to the 'friends you've likely never met' (I know you have met some). Again, I hope you and your family make it through this period with family unity and understanding.
I've made my donation. If you ever need a black-hole to vent into, please feel free to email me. or skype or voice, or whatever. You've given me enough laughs that I can pay something back. I know that some employers have "Employee Assistance Programs" where you can get some counselling for free, but I'm unsure if your anal-lube-label-printer offers that -- perhaps enquire about that. Heck, even ask your funeral provider if they offer counselling gratis.
