Definitely the first one, love it!

What happens to tumblrs? Do they just stay around indefinitely, even if someone quits posting on it? Or is there a way to archive it, so we'll always have those amazing pictures of her? Because, seriously, those are amazing photographs.

Yes, the first headshot is perfect.

As for the Sunday vs weekday question. It only matters if it matters to her family. I would imagine 99+% of loved ones will be reading the obit on line.

I think so. Someone can delete their tumblr, but otherwise they stick around.

Obit is complete, will be in Sunday's LATimes and online. Thank you Ginger for grabbing the picture. Now to shower, get boxes, sharpies, packing tape, put my heart on deep freeze, and go to ita's apartment to pack.

I'm so glad you did this. I'm looking forward to sharing it with people who didn't meet ita.

Wrod. I want everyone who doesn't know her to wish they had.

I just read a good thing about grief here: [link] If that link doesn't take you straight to the right bit, the heading is "For Pending Death - also an update"

Oh, Allyson. Beautiful, shiny, gorgeous hair you'be got there.

I'm at ita's apartment with Moji, two cousins, and a friend from Jamaica, and they are making it so much easier to be here than I thought it would be. And they are being fairly unsentimental about much of the fandom stuff, so they want to know if y'all want anything--LotR playing cards, Crow collectible cards, dvds, shoes, books, etc. Most surprising is her art, so later I'll be posting pictures of what they're not taking, for those of you who want to keep a piece of her and the things she loved.

Oh my goodness. I would love to have something and almost don't care what.

I'm glad it's easier than expected for you to be there.

Also, I like your tag, Polgara.
