Question about Jewelyn's baby registry

My heart goes out to all of you.  I am really sorry for your loss. I wanted to politely ask if I am able to contribute by purchasing a gift from Jewelyn's baby registry on BRU. I know that it is a compliment to buy from a mother's baby registry.

I know that you know the family better than the rest of us in other states.  I wanted to respect the family's privacy.

If this is okay, would we send the gift to the address that BRU has listed or should we send the package (I am thinking that Brandi Futrell is managing donations for the family) to:

Re: Question about Jewelyn's baby registry

  • Thank you so much!

    I think she got pretty much what she needed off her registry, even though it doesn't show it.  The IE Nesties had talked about getting Phil/Gabby something off it and decided that diapers, wipes and formula would probably be a better bet.  

    You can send your donation to the address you have listed in post.

    Any help is truly appreciated!

    Thank you, again!

  • How thoughtful!

    I know adding to a registry is time consuming, but you want the very best for your baby. I'm sure Jewels & Phil put a lot of time into picking gifts for Miss Gabby.

    Thank you for helping out. :)

  • I agree with Brandy. We appreciate your offer to help and whatever you are comfortable doing or giving I know will be greatly appreciated.
