I wonder if some cash could be set aside from the sale of Storms of 2009?

THANK YOU FROM THE GUERRA FAMILY
I received this email just a little while ago from Sara, Fabian's wife. I wanted to share this with everyone as it applies to each of you that have reached out to the family.
==================================================
Dennis,
On behalf of my children, myself and our entire family I would like to
thank you, and the storm chasing community that my husband loved so much,
for not only the lovely peace lily you sent but for all of the wonderful
posts, pictures and videos we have seen out there. To know that Fabian
touched so many lives in a positive way has been somewhat of a comfort to us and
will someday be reminders to our children about who their dad really was.
Thank you,
Sara Mitchell-Guerra

My heart goes out to his family and friends. I saddens me to read this news about a fellow ST member/weather enthusiast and learn that he left behind a family and many dear friends.

My heart goes out to Fabian's family. It's sad to see somebody go like this, a life cut short by the animals that play in the prairies.

I haven't been around lately and just stopped by the forum to hear this unfortunate news.
I would like to extend my heart felt condolences to his family and all his friends abroad in
the chaser community and otherwise.
he sounded like an incredible person to have known.

UPDATE From Fabian's Family
I received another email today. This one is from Marcelo, Fabian's brother. A true gentleman, like his brother. His email is attached below, with his approval to share with all.
On behalf of myself, I would also like to express my sincere thanks to those individuals who reached out to Fabian's family and also would like to say Thank You to the businesses here that have also chosen to show their support to this family.
Also, I would like to ask everyone that can and will, please consider helping out this family by making a donation through our website. We will continue to accept and forward the donations as long as they come in. Please let it suffice to say without going into details, the Guerra family, Sara and the two children, really need any support from us that we can give.
Thank you! http://www.Alert1Weather.org

Hi Dennis,
This is Fabian's younger brother, Marcelo. I wanted to reach out and thank you for your efforts last month to spread the word about my brother's death. I met Jim Hawkins at the memorial service, and I can't begin to tell you how touching it was to hear about how well-regarded he was in the community. The remembrances that sprang up in those immediate hours and days after we all found out were as much of a solace as anything could be at the time, and as I go back and re-read them now they really stand out as testaments to the kind of man he was and the way he lived his life and brought joy and fellowship to his friends and family.
The family is now in the process of trying to get back to normal. Or, more accurately, trying to define what a new "normal" really means and looks like. That goes from the mundane parts of everyday life such as mowing the lawn, to the more daunting financial changes that face a suddenly single parent of two children.
================Additional:
I think some of us in his family didn't fully appreciate the depth of his
involvement in storm chasing. It always seemed like a unique hobby to me,
and a good way to get out into the country. But looking at his photographs,
and hearing about the real sense of community among his friends was a real
eye-opener for me. I'm glad he pursued this passion with commitment and
gusto, as he pursued so much in life! Feel free to post whatever from my
email you think will resonate with folks on the blog.
You hit the nail on the head in describing each dollar having been given
with great memories of Fabian. That amplifies its value. The rest of the
family is rallying around some of the immediate needs (like summer camp,
car, etc.)
