Booster Shot: LIFELINE proceeds to pay for funeral

Sheldon with Destra and Atlantik Bandmates, May 2008

Oh I dunno. This is all still a little surreal to me. This time last week, the LIFELINE commitee hadn't even staged their sound check for the concert held Sunday to raise funds for Sheldon Benjamin's medical costs.

As you know Sheldon died only two days later. Friday would have been his birthday, and Monday is his funeral. Shhheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!

The committee has decided to redirect the monies from the Zen concert will contribute to covering the funeral and cremation costs of the deceased. Remaining money will be donated to the Cancer Society in Sheldon's honour. *Applause* I think that is a classy move.

For those in Trinidad who wish to pay their respects, the service happens 3pm, Monday, June 15th at the Good Shepherd Anglican Church in Tunapuna.

Yeah. So there it is.

Should you have any more thoughts or insight to share, you know what to do.

More love in Soca,
