The family would like to start a scholarship fund in her name in Jamaica, where education $$ will go a long way.
Once it's set up, I'll donate myself and help spread the word on this to fandom and to the Women in Tech community.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Thrive to spite them
Allyson you have amazingly pretty hair. And I'd love to make a donation to the scholarship fund. Maria is right and I keep going back to that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I love everyone. Just sayin
I am not (at this moment) drunk, so take it while you can.

Let me point out that many friends -- even good friends! -- would not be providing the kind of support to the family that you are doing. And it's because you are smart and resourceful that you are able to do it.
Yes, absolutely. And I would love to donate to the scholarship fund.

lol, msbelle.
I was given half a xanax by someone at work because today is incredibly stressful, and I realized that possibly anxiety is the only thing keeping me going, ever? Because the stress is gone, but now I can't seem to think of a reason to stay awake, at all. Not sleeping is a total waste of time.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I realized that possibly anxiety is the only thing keeping me going, ever?
I am often fueled by anxiety, raaaaage, and caffeine, and nothing else.

I so get this. Though my anxiety often trumps my rage, but yeah.
(That really belonged in Natter, sorry.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think of stress/anxiety being the only thing holding me up like internal water pressure is the only thing holding flowers up. When it all drains away, I collapse.
I would like to donate to the scholarship fund, too, when it's ready. That's a wonderful thing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Anxiety does the exact opposite for me. When it really kicks in, I can barely move.

That's me, too, sj. Anxiety paralyzes me and turns me into the world's worst procrastinator.
