Gitana just called me.
She was adamant that you all know how much she appreciates all your kind words and love. It means so much to her during this awful time.
Gitana also asked that no one set up any sort of fund for her family. While she greatly appreciates the thought she would rather try and help her brother get the funds from the fundraising sites going on now for the families.
She needs your help with something else. She needs your incredible sleuthing skills.
Gitana wants to find out how her brother can go about applying for funds and making sure no one else tries to claim they are the next of kin and are the ones giving her sister-in-law the funeral.

Here is another fund set up for the families. While Gitana did not mention this particular fund why don't you try and find out the same things.

1- Find out exactly what her brother has to do to apply for the funds
2-How does the fund make sure the money is going to the proper next of kin. Proper being the legal next of kin who has the right to hold the funeral.
Post what you find out here and I'll make sure she sees the information.
Thank you for all your help.

Bumping.
I've been in touch with AZlawyer. She forwards her heartfelt love & condolences. I know she's busy working but I'm going to email her this request of Gitana's. Maybe she can provide some guidance.
Love and prayers to all.
Blue, I am so happy your family is safe and together!!! God Bless and comfort you.
