Stories

I know many of you have great stories of times you spent with Josh. We would really appreciate if you would share those stories with us. I would like to compile these stories for the kids to be able to read in the future (and we would love to read them, too). This will be a great way for the kids to understand who Josh is. The story can be funny, sad, happy....whatever! Please share!

You may send the story to me at marisaallen@hotmail.com and I will make sure that they are properly shared.

Thanks!

update and more

Hi everyone, sorry it has taken so long to update. It has been difficult for me because I want so badly to simply update you on Josh’s battle. We are all dealing with our loss as best as we can, although it is difficult. Luckily we have the kids to hold us all together.

Thank you all so much for your support. The services were beautiful and it was wonderful to see hundreds of you there. We also appreciate those who have donated to the funds. For those donating to the Team Giant Fund directly, please write your name on the deposit slip so that we can see who has donated. You could also send us a note or email to let us know. Please know that we are all very thankful.

I want to let you know that I plan to keep-up with this website. Updates probably won’t be quite as frequent, but please check back when you can. We have a lot ahead of us in this battle against cancer. The pancake breakfast is coming up Saturday, Nov. 6. Please join us. If you would like to purchase tickets you can email, or call Sherrie Ketchum (fantazmik@earthlink.net 404-7966), or to give a donation (a grocery gift card, or a bag of pancake mix would be great!) call Nicole Scoles (nicole@cpuman.net 907-0220).

We are also planning on climbing “A” mountain to conquer cancer on Saturday, March 12 2005. I’ll give more details on this later, but please mark your calendars!

Education Fund

I want to say a quick "thank you" to all of you who were here today (both physically and spiritually). It means a lot to us to see the many people that Josh has affected. I'm heading off to bed, but I wanted to post the information about the education fund, and then I will write more at a later date.

To donate directly to the Jake and Caily college fund, you may write a check to

Josh Allen Education Fund

We are also still accepting donations to Team Giant Fund (Bank One: 661644807 ****the bank account # from Wednesday's obituary was incorrect)
and also to the American Cancer Society of Tucson in the name of Team Giant.
