*** It seems like everyone thinks Schwan's is a good idea. I know MrsT is in VA, but that's all I know so we will have to wait to make sure they deliver there, but it looks like average meal prices are running $8-12/entree and ice/cream and desserts about the same for packages of ice cream bars and cakes and pies.
I feel like we should do something for MrsTyson. She is one of the most giving and active members of our group, and I want to show support somehow.
I have a paypal business account, so we could use that and then I can use my business card anywhere.
So what ideas do you? I like the idea of Schwan's because the last thing I would want to do is cook and I'm not sure if something remembrance oriented is the best thing right now, it might hurt to much. But what suggestions do you?
Re: March Clovers and anyone else :( UPDATED
Do we know where she lives? When one of my coworkers lost her baby we looked into a food delivery service. Basically you call and place an order to any restaurant and they will pick it up and bring it to you.
I still cant believe this happened. Sometimes life is so unfair.

After 1 year of TTC#2 BFP May 2011 m/c #3 4w2d. Off to RE.
Round 1: Femara + Ovidrel +TI = BFP! EDD 2/20/12
2IF does not always equal 3IF...Surprise!
We were due on the same day - March 12. So she had to be over 33 weeks since she posted after her l&d trip.
I really like the idea of meals. I also think something in rememberance would be nice, even a candle or small figurine or plaque of some sort? I'll try to do some research this weekend and see what I can come up with and we'll see if anyone likes the idea.
I will try to contact her this weekend and get her address. MsAlbin, I'll PM you the info once I get it. Thank you for doing that, I wouldn't even know where to start setting up a PayPal account!

I agree about prepared meals. I think that was the most helpful immediately after we lost DD.
I'm willing to contribute any way I can. I'm just heartbroken over this.
I was at about the same time when I lost my LO last July, and the best thing my friends did for me was send a huge care package with junk food, trashy magazines, and their favorite movies to keep me busy. They also sent some frozen pizzas from a really good place in Chicago- so the Schwans idea is good. They sent me a necklace too, but I've never worn it, I wanted to pick out my own. So the rememberance jewelry is a nice idea, but maybe after a few weeks when she's had some time.
I would love to contribute to whatever you decide to send her.

I'm happy to contribute as well - my heart goes out to her and her family !
Thank you, Ashley.
I like Sydney's idea too. I'm going to check out Schwan's and see what we're looking at and I'll post more info.
Oh and I also have a Paypal account, so I would be happy to do some of the ordering, etc.

I agree. I think this would be a wonderful idea. I would love to contribute anyway I can.

This. I figure a remembrance thing would be overwhelming right now. And there are obviously plenty of us who want to help her out during this terrible time, so I think we'd be able to swing a decent amount of meals.
I would love to help out in anyway.. please keep us posted!
Definitely count me in. This just breaks my heart...
I think meals are a great idea. But, I think a small rememberance item, like the Willow Tree figurine that was suggested in another post, would be nice. I know I greatly appreciated meals, as well as rememberance gifts, after we lost Isaac.
