                        | Sorry for any problems and confusion everyone.  It's all we have for right now, but many people seem to be making their donations okay so thanks to everyone for their effort, help, and support.
 Hope all is well with Thomas' family and that this is well received.

                        | Voila, worked out fine for me.
 Thanks to all who are involved in this helpful fund for a late fellow pooler. All in all I think there is a genuine spirit in this place, isn´t it?

He told me that she should be reachable on sunday so 
I´ll contact her tomorrow.

                        | Dear poolers,Thomas´ sister just called me and we had a long talk.
 A couple of days ago I sent her the tribute-thread which
 I printed on paper.
 She is very thankful and deeply moved about our effort
 all around the world.
 
 "Many thanks for the condolences and donations already
 made."
 Thomas´ Sister
 
 Thomas´ body is still in Italy and she got no idea when
 it is possible to bring him back.
 The italien police still investigates the case and
 it looks like the guy who hit Thomas´ with the van
 has hide the already dead or deathly woundet Thomas in
 that bushes. The police found a car-key in his hand
 who doesn´t belong to him and Thomas´ car is not found yet.
 The communications with the italian authorithys are hard and
 they won´t give Thomas´ body free untill the case is closed.
 They are not a hundred percent sure about the theory that Thomas´ died by a car-accident actually.
 
 Thomas´ got no insureance at all and his sister who is the
 only family-member he got is alone with all the upcoming
 costs. Only to bring back Thomas´ body costs thousands of EUROS. Not to speak about the funeral etc.
 
 I think we made the right decision to collect money for his
 family. I prefer to get all the donated money directly to his sister from which she can pay a lot of costs.
 Many of bills came in already and she has no idea at the moment how to get this through.
 
 I appeal to everyone to give what is possible to give
 Thomas´ sister a little helb in these dark hours.
 
 When i told her that we got almost 700 EUROS already and that it came from all around the world she said that
 it is unbelievable how good this community works and
 she was very suprised how many people knew Thomas.
 
 "It´s beautiful to have some people behind me who help
 me in this sad and tragical situation"
