There is a link to send flowers, but both Mom & Dad had expressed their wishes through the years, that people do not send flowers at funerals. Instead, donate to the charity of your choosing. For both of my sisters' funerals, they asked that people please NOT send flowers, instead donate to Cystic Fibrosis research or similar organizations working to eradicate suffering.
I know their message would be the same here: NO FLOWERS - Instead, donate to some organization, of your choosing, that is working to alleviate suffering.

Michelle, thank you so much for reaching out to me! I am sorry for your losses.
I was so fond of Coach Pecor. He was a great coach. No one could motivate his runners like coach Pecor. His kindness and understanding of the teenage psyche and how to get the best performance out each one of us was a testament of his character. I remember going to running camp at "camp Pecor." Nancy was vital to this event for the several years we did the camp. Also, I remember being in the finish of my races and coach Pecor would say I need you to get this runner and you would push to always get past the other team´s runner. During my junior year we set a record at the state meet for the lowest number of winning points ever scored. Our runners finished 2,3,7,8 and 12th for a total of 32 points. This record stood for over 40 years.
Sincerely yours, Brad Phelps
