samantha and request for help/suggestions

the rituals will take place in illinois wed and thurs. as many of you know, due to disability and chronic illness, i am not able to travel (even for this, which is very, very hard for me to deal with) and therefore jbru and i will be here at home in minnesota during the service, visitation, etc. this has weighed very heavily on me.

go figure-a non computer literate friend of ours came up with an amazing idea.

why not use a webcam? if we can get someone(s) at the chicago end (elk grove) (my family is not computer literate, do not have the equipment, and for obvious reasons will be way too busy with other important things) to go to the site and set up their own equipment and be there for awhile, we can make this happen. we have everyones permission to do this so that jbru and i can take part in this, admitedly in an unusual way.

we are not talking going around and accosting visitors or anything, we are talking discretely putting/holding a webcam somewhere in the room so we can idealy hear the service, and if at all possible having a few minutes at the very begining wed. when it is open casket.

i realize this is an unusual request, and that many may be uncomfortable with the whole idea, but i am tossing it out into the community and praying....
anyone have ideas/possible people we can ask?
