[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  It's for a scholarship at the community college where he was a student.  I had given quite a bit toward funeral expenses, and when my brother announced the scholarship, I assumed that he and his wife were funding it and that they were offering everyone the opportunity to participate with symbolic contributions.

I like the advice to give now what I'd be willing to give at the end of the campaign to make up any shortfall.  I'll do that, and try to tune out any future noise from troublesome relatives.  Thanks, everyone, for your feedback.[/quote]

OP, if you see this, it would mean so much to them if along with your donation you send a little message saying how much you miss your nephew and mentioning a specific memory of some kind (like I was just remembering the time we were all at the beach and Larlo built a huge sandcastle with Little Larla, he was always such a kind big cousin to her) or something. A couple years after the death is extremely painful because most people have moved on and seemingly are not thinking of the deceased on a regular basis so they feel forgotten. I suspect this whole scholarship thing is aggravating that feeling if donations dried up a year ago.[/quote]
