my son is in little league so i know much it meant when someone bought his team a new set of catcher's gear and a team equipment bag. i only have one kid but as a parent can not imagine having to pick one child's interest over another. maybe i'm being unrealistic but $100 is a lot of money to me. i don't think either organization would be offended by a 'small' donation. i vote split between the two.

Send it to his wife.
Agree with norm. Send to wife.
I don't know. It would be easy, but sending cash doesn't feel right to me.

What about finding a nice image of Mike (with his bees or whatever) and blowing it up and putting it in a nice frame?

I'm ambivalent about this. Whatever the majority decides is fine. That frog on the Lilly pad that Tom did for another previous fallen member was really nice. Something along that line. A gift that his family can cherish for years to come.
That's kind of what I was thinking. Maybe something bee-related for show-me? Here's what we had given Spaf" while he was sick...

Mike was doing a lot of work/things around the house, their property. It is possible that as his illness became more apparent & disabling, that some things on their agenda were scratched. Could we ask his wife, Christine, if there is something tangible/in particular, she and the sons would enjoy in the years to come? Maybe something started but not finished?
As for the memorial requests, I plan on sending separately, will draw straws to decide which one, I guess.... when the next check arrives middle of the month.
