OUR FAMILY DIDN'T CARRY LIFE INSURANCE ON OUR CHILDREN--MOST FAMILIES DON'T. PARENTS NEVER THINK INSURANCE IS SOMETHING THEY NEED ON THEIR CHILD. IN OUR MIND, WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER PRECEDE US IN DEATH. SOMETIMES, THAT ISN'T HOW THINGS HAPPEN. THROUGH THE GENEROUS OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WE DIDN'T EXPERIENCE A FINANCIAL BURDEN IN BURIAL COSTS WHEN SAVANNAH WENT TO HEAVEN. 238612 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 9856907444 385 INDIAN VILLAGE ROAD SLIDELL LA 70461 MARGARET FREDERICKS BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER SCHARFENSTEIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 10.00 X 38000 0 0 KRISTY LAFOLLETTE SECRETARY 7.00 X X 0 0 0 KARA HAMMOND TREASURER 7.00 X X 0 0 0 EMILY PAGE BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 JODY SCHARFENSTEIN BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 GARY LAFOLLETTE PRESIDENT 7.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHNNY SCHOLTENS BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY GLASGOW BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 ARTHUR SEALE BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 TIM WALKER BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE WALKER BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY RUSHING BOARD DIRECTOR 7.00 X 0 0 0 38000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 154157 106903 261060 10443 10443 48978 17338 31640 31640 OTHER INCOME 900099 2574 2574 2574 305717 2574 0 42083 38000 32300 3800 1900 3600 3060 360 180 5031 4276 503 252 8680 8680 1247 598 649 1170 1170 118 118 420 420 2124 2124 5360 5360 FINAL EXPENSES 174139 174139 MISCELLANEOUS 7321 4695 2626 UTILITIES 6196 6196 INTERNET AND PHONE 4694 4694 5038 5038 263138 238612 22194 2332 102752 157834 100000 66667 75000 1925 1925 82825 31791 53158 51034 0 75000 324502 360793 12039 5751 12039 5751 X 245796 205042 66667 150000 312463 355042 324502 360793 42579 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 222169 435112 208916 208814 312612 1387623 222169 435112 208916 208814 312612 1387623 1387623 895 243 223 92 10443 11896 1399519 0.99150 0.99830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 66666 150000 66667 149999 133333 66667 66666 200000 66667 133333 200000 200000 1.00000 0 0 82825 31791 51034 51034 LONG -TERM PROMISE TO GIVE 75000 75000 X 323805 750 17338 18088 305717 0 305717 281226 750 17338 18088 263138 0 263138 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AND EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION.
