Kiba, that's good news! Glad to hear it.
Allyson, thanks for telling us. The scholarship sounds perfect.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is it 2002 again?

The status is NOT quo.
I am happy to be there if it would be supportive and not weird for them (and those of you who were so close to ita) for me to be there. But I'm also totally fine with supporting via email, as it were. Basically I just want to help any way I can. I don't want to impose.

Yes, Allyson. 25th works for me. Pretty much any sunday.

Aw, wish I could be there, but we can't drive all day for brunch, sadly. Raise a glass for me!(I'm in on the scholarship fund)

Si monumentum requiris, circumspice.
My suggestion for a worthy charity was http://www.blackgirlscode.com/ on the other thread.
There are organisations which specifically exist to make it easy to create memorial funds for people, see http://charitysmith.org/memorial-funds/ which I know about because of Serial.

I have a question which may be inappropriate. I'll delete if need be, but this is how I personally deal with things.
I don't know what kind of condition ita suffered from or how she died. Do the rest of you know and you don't want to talk about it, or do you not know?
Please feel free to email me, profile email.
Like I said, I'll delete if you think it's insensitive to be asking.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I hate asking but I will need to put a call out for donations. Her parents will need phones when they get here. How do I get prepaids? Need to put in an obituary.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
John, I don't think it's inappropriate to say what we know. For several years, she's been dealing with severe-to-incapacitating migraines, but we (at least I) don't know if those were a factor.

Allyson, do you want to handle the money, or do you want me to do it? I can coordinate and then Paypal stuff to you, if you want.
