Fundraising for memorial by two local boys.

The following was forwarded to me by Robert Repasz last night.

EVERYONE is invited to our home on Saturday 5-30-09 from 7:00 am until 2:00 pm!!
618 Pines Way, Columbia, IL 62236

Some of you may already know this but would you PLEASE pass this on to everyone on your email list?

Our sons Robbie (age 11) and Jeff (age 9) were friends with the Coleman boys who were murdered on May 5th. They played football and baseball with them and Jeff went to school with both of them. He played with them everyday at school.

Money is being raised to build a memorial in Columbia, IL for Sheri, Garett, and Gavin Coleman.

Robbie and Jeff have been trying to find a way to raise money to donate to the memorial fund for their friends Gavin and Garett and their mom Mrs. Sheri. It just so happens that our subdivision THE PINES (off D Road) is having our subdivision wide garage/yard sale this Saturday, May 30th. The boys had an idea and they presented it to Rob and I. We said YES! They want to sell their clothes that don't fit anymore, some toys, lemonade, water and baked goods (that they will be preparing) in order to raise money to donate to the fund to build a memorial in Columbia, IL honoring Sheri, Garett and Gavin Coleman.

They will also take donations!! Rob and I will be here but they are doing all of the work. PLEASE come help them to meet their goal. They have set their goal high at $500.00. I know they can do it.

Thank you in advance for spreading the word!

Sincerely,
Rob & Rhonda Repasz

Thanks to all of Columbia and the surrounding Metro area for making this a huge success. It touched the family of Sheri, Garett, and Gavin very deeply in a positive way!
