How heartbreaking. I don't think you have to worry about the "day of" item. Send a flower arrangement. Maybe fill a Primepantry box from amazon and send it to their house. It looks like their classmates are writing memories. What about creating a family memory book and have as many family members as you can write a memory about each boy in it.

I am so sorry for the tragic loss of two beautiful boys. Unbelievable...those poor parents.
I agree that a flower arrangement should be sent for the funeral but then something more thoughtful done later. The t-shirt quilt is a wonderful idea. One for each boy...that way the mom and dad could cuddle up to something tangible and personal from their boys.

Were they involved with zports? You could donate some money to a low income school sports team or a community team that's needy.

I would stay away from the sports thing unless/until they say something considering where the boys were headed.

I like the wind chime idea!!! Personalcreations.com I think it's called memorial windchime. I may have a $$ off code, if I do I'll pm it to you.

I don't have any ideas but I wanted to say I'm so very sorry. So so sad.

I'm sorry for your loss. I like the thought of a bench or tree in the park as well.

What a tragedy. I can not imagine.
I would do something more as a memorial, a tree a bench, a scholarship something to remember the boys by.
I would not be concerned about doing it right away.
Sometime a few months later something will come up. Being there for them is the most important thing.

My couisons two and only sons were killed early this wk in a terrible, tragic car accident. If you are in MN/ND you have probably heard about it. Her boys were 14 and 18. The funeral is next monday. My other couisons and I are trying to do something special for her and her husband. We have thought about a flower arrangement. Which would be ok. But I think there are going to be a million of them. I know alot of people think they are a waste, but I know when I have gone to funerals before others have expressed that they went around and looked at ea arrangement. The other suggestion was a donation to a charity or something. I guess I sort of feel this is not very personable at the time, and something not represented/supported to them at the funeral. ? IDK how to express it. Any other thoughts? or things you have seen at funerals that were special? Thanks so much What a small world. One of my friends here in Missouri had asked us to pray for your family. I am so sorry. My friend's cousin's son was going to ride with the boys that day, but his plans changed.
