Personally, I think you should send him all the paypal confirmation sheets.
I am sure that Robert doesn't care if you gave $1.00 or $1000.00, and it is
not the amount that is important, it is the thoughts. We all gave what we
could (or wanted to) and it is definitely the thought that counts.
When I recently lost my mother, I appreciated the shear volume of
correspondence and flowers. I could have cared less who gave what, I just
thought it was neat to have all these people thinking about me and my
family. I definitely help get me through it. I still have an envelope that
has all the emails, cards, etc in it. I'll keep those forever.
I believe that you SHOULD print out all the paypal confirmations, especially
those with notes, and give them to Robert. If you wish NOT to have Robert
know what you give, send a little note to Allen to print out and give to
that to Robert. Like I said, the quantity of people thinking, praying,
giving, etc. means so much more than the dollar amount.
That being said, I definitely believe the list should not know who did
donate or did not donate. The list definitely should not know any amounts.
That is private and would be in bad taste.
That's my opinion on the matter.

The PayPal money will be easy, but I asked that any checks sent to me be
made out to Robert. That way everyone knows that I will have to send them
along.
My plan was to send the PayPal confirmation sheets along with my check.
Many people have written a short line or two of condolence on that form and
I wanted Robert to see them. I had no intention of posting the list to
anyone else.
