Changing the size of a DVC account

[spiceycat]

So sorry for your lost. Losing son must hurt so much - especially one who had such a bright future.

sending prayers your way.

I don't think DVC will allow you to change your contract. But call your guide and tell her/him the situation. they may make allowance.

rules were mean to be bent.

My deepest prayers and condolenses to you and your family. Faith and time does wonders on the soul. I agree with one of the other posters - I wouldn't do anything right now. Sit tight and see how you feel in a year or so. You may even want to evenutally donate those points to the Make A Wish Foundation in your son's name. They help kids with terminal illnesses get their wishes granted. You can only guess how many childred want to go to Disney World!

Jim - I am so very sorry for your loss.

Your web site is great - it is extremely obvious what kind of family you have and how fortunate Gregory was to be part of your family and fortunate you were to have him, too.

Jim, I am so sorry about your loss. You, your family and your son's fiancee are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I have a 19 year old son also - our DVC family expresses our deepest condolances to yours.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the loss of your son. I visited your web site and it's so clear from all the wonderful photos that you have a very close and loving family. You are all in our thoughts.

I also noticed in your bio that, like me, you are ex-DEC and that you worked there pretty much the same time period that I did. I started there a year before you, and left a year before you did. I'm sorry that our paths never crossed and that we did not have an opportunity to know one another.

Re: your DVC contracts, ask your guide if anything can be done. If you cannot change your contracts, I wouldn't sell any of them right now. Wait at least a year and see how you feel. You could leave each of your daughters a 150-point contract and let them share the third contract and split the points each year between them. Maybe one of them will be more of a Disney fan than the other or end up living closer to Florida and will want to buy out the other's share of the third contract. Or, as someone else mentioned, maybe your family will decide to donate some points every year to an organization such as Make-a-Wish, in honor of your son.

Again, you have my deepest sympathies.

Jim ~
I can't offer any info about the contracts, but wanted you to know that your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. We have friends who are attending the Scouts Jubilee in VA.
Your son sounded like he was a beautiful person who was doing something positive with his life. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

So, so sorry to your loss.

My advice, FWIW, is to keep all 3 contracts for now. Enjoy life to the fullest with your family and friends.

Leave one contract to each of your girls and sell the third. Split the proceeds from the sale in half to fund an account for each of them to help pay for travel expenses and tickets when they use the points and maybe even for the annual maintenance costs.

You want to be sure that they can afford to keep and use the DVC points that you do gift them.

to you and your family.

Jim,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My only advice is to not worry about DVC for now and stay focused on your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Over time the void left by his sudden departure will be filled with memories of good times together. No one is truly gone if they remain in our memories.

So sorry for your loss. It appears we were once "neighbors" We live in Fitchburg,MA.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My heart breaks when I hear such sad news about a parent's loss. I thank you for posting about it. It is an important reminder of just how short ones "earth dance" can be.

Deepest Sympathy and Prayers...Johnnie

Jim, I am so very sorry for your loss. It is even more difficult to experience the loss of someone with so much potential. My cousin (a bit older, in his 30s) died in a plane crash almost four years ago, and it was very difficult for the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Peace.

God bless you and your family!

I too don't have any advice re the contracts but I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
