We've just returned from making arrangements. Here they are:
Visitation: Monday, March 8, 5-7 pm
Shinn Funeral Home
800 West Main Street, Russellville, AR
Funeral: Tuesday, March 9, 10 am
Hatley Missionary Baptist Church
3271 Landers Loop Road, Dover, AR
Graveside following service
East Point Cemetery
4435 Mill Creek Road, Russellville, AR
His online obituary and guestbook will be available soon at http://www.shinnfuneral.com.
Flowers are acceptable, or in lieu of flowers, we have asked that donations be made to the Timothy Hardgrave Memorial Fund at River Town Bank, www.rivertownbank.com.
We are so grateful for all of the love and support you as a friendship/community have demonstrated to us. I will ask, however, that Sunday be a day of privacy for Mom and me. We will most likely be finishing plans and getting things done, so Sunday would not be a good day to pop by for a visit, even if the car's in the driveway. Monday's visitation and Tuesday's service will be a much better time.
Again, thank you all...for everything. Your love is what will help us heal.

One more thing: family bank account
Hi again,
Our friend Shirley reminded me that I hadn't posted this info yet- my apologies!
Our dear friends the Faulkners have set up a bank account to help with my father's medical expenses. While we've so far been covered by insurance and Medicaid, that's only going to go so much longer. Only my mother and I will have access to the account, and I am completely comfortable with disclosing a complete report of where funds go once used.
The account is at River Town Bank; the account number is 1360930. Deposits can be made at any branch: https://www.rivertownbank.com
I feel a bit awkward using this format, and this is in no way a sales pitch. Just letting you know our family friends are trying to find ways to help.

My apologies on the lack of updates; CCPA's audition season in Chicago kept me terribly busy for the last few weeks. In just 30 days, I had 1,000 actors and musicians visit my conservatories for auditions. That's a LOT of stage parents!
At any rate, Dad's progression is slow but steady. He's had a string of good days, with a few bumps that he's been able to recover from. Through good fortune we were able to acquire a Passy-Muir speaking valve for his tracheostomy tube. Before the December infection, when he had lots of energy, he'd sometimes try to make noise. We got him a valve and this happened. He's not always up to it these days, but it's nice to have in case he gets there. Here's how it works:
His cervical collar is off now, so his neck's going to be a LOT less stiff. I'm heading home to see his new place Saturday, and I CAN'T WAIT!!! For those of you who would like to visit (which, ahem, you should) he's in the Dardanelle Nursing Center, 510 Green Street. I would suggest calling ahead- (479) 229-4884 - to make sure he's up to visitors. Do me a favor and don't call Mom first; she's barely got enough phone minutes as it is, so check with the nurses.
Again, leaving on a jet plane and flying into Northwest Arkansas' enormous airport (see the humor there?) for 2.5 days of Mama/Papa time. Full report on the new digs as soon as I can.
