Widow on Memorial Gifts: "Amazement. Surprise. Gratitude."

Elaine Cannon of Sheridan, Indiana, recently lost her husband Mike to cancer. While creating the obituary, her brother suggested that memorial contributions could be made to Legacy Fund to bolster the family's charitable fund benefiting Sheridan High School. Dozens of gifts have been made in honor of Mike, a former financial officer at St. Vincent's Hospital.

"Mike would have enjoyed these gifts," Elaine shared. "He would have been touched by people's generosity. He struggled in school at an early age and worked hard to earn his business degree at IU and become a Certified Public Accountant. He wanted others to succeed and enjoyed helping people financially with school."

Elaine added, "Flowers are beautiful, but scholarships keep growing."

Thanks to all those who gave. For information on making a gift in honor of Mike Cannon or to another fund to honor a loved one, contact Mark Robbins - markr@cicf.org.
