I'd handle this one very gingerly.
Edited to add: The appeal was created back in December, with no donations; there seems no reason to think Bobby was buried anywhere but Franklin, where he lived, as reported; even the photograph is iffy (look at the two hands on his right shoulder); etc. May be legit, but be very careful.
Second edit: She had a previous appeal that raised $210, and is now trying again having added the part about "a heinous crime called "Undue Influence" and "Relationship Poisoning.""

I think the hands on the shoulder are legit -- his wife (I assume that's her) could be putting her right arm around him too).
However, in that "Searching for Bobby Keys" post, there is a lot of poor grammar and odd verbiage in one of her comments at the bottom of page which makes me think twice. For example, she writes "...On this blasted thing they call, "Gofundme." That non of it really matters, I'm not to listen to the nay-sayers and the mad hatters." Americans don't say "blasted" or "mad hatters." And she is disparaging GoFundMe but using it? Just odd. When I see odd capitalization and punctuation on dating sites, I know it's a fake profile.
