Enjoy. Notice the book. It's at Amazon. I wonder if this is helping fund this adventure.

    Great story. Isn't it nice to hear about some good news for a change?

    I've been a food server. Hardest job I've had other than a mom. God bless Seth Collins for thinking about such an unselfish act when he knew he was dying. And blessings to the family who are carrying out his wishes.

    There's nothing more gratifying than the gift of giving.

      My sister who just passed away last year at this time was a waitress several years back, wayback when I was a kid. If the person being spoken about here and/or his family hit up the place where she worked here in Canada, I promise you that my sister would have BLOWN A GASKET! I know I would have if I were in her shoes.

      Because most waiters and waitresses in the US that work in decent restaurants make better then a living wage. I know some that make more in 2 nights of waiting tables then most people make working 40 hours a week. One friend who is a trial attorney for the dept. of Justice put himself through law school waiting tables and graduated debt free.
      Do that on a living wage.
