We are now preparing to travel to Newport, Rhode Island, for another celebration of life and scattering of his ashes at sea. We are updating the GoFundMe page as we have a shortfall of $2,800. This is needed for accommodation and food for our party of 9 for 4 days.

Reese's remembrance service is scheduled for April 19th (DATE IS FIRM) with the location and time pending.

We have two questions:

1. Are there any locals in Newport with ties to the hospitality industry that can offer discounted rates for three rooms with two beds?

2. Would anyone be willing to cook, purchase platters, and/or provide kitchen access for "V" to cook?

Please send direct responses to Vera Rae Briscoe or myself. Sincerely, The Briscoe Family
