A couple of weeks ago my nieces 6 week old baby boy died. This was by far the saddest thing I have ever gone through. My family is very close and we see each other at least a couple of times a week. My kids who are 4 and 6, had lots of questions that Mom just didn't have the answers to. Anyway, when Jonnathan was born he had trouble swallowing and was in the hospital for about 2 weeks. While he was in the hospital his Mommy and Daddy stayed at the Ronald McDonald House right next door. They provided them with food, diapers and milk for their daughter (2 yrs old) and a place to stay free of charge for as long as the baby was in the hospital. They can provide this service because they earn money from pop can tabs that are collected and nonated to them. They then take the tabs and recycle them. I am asking anyone who drinks from cans to collect the tabs and donated them to the Ronald McDonald House. In Loving Memory of Jonnathan Anthony Gutierrez April 15, 2004 - May 30, 2004If anyone is interested, here's the link to the death notice

Thanks guys. The charity is great and they only ask that you donate the tabs from your cans. That's really not a lot to ask. Thanks for helping out stoontoons and thanks for your prayers Hans.
