We figured out how sending ita's stuff to people is going to happen, which is that one of the LAistas is going to put them all in a box and send them to me, and then I will distribute them. I probably won't be able to sort things out today but I will in the next few days and then I will be in touch with some of you to get addresses.
I think that's a great idea, honestly. It gives Polgara and Burrell and Kristen and Allyson a time to rest and grieve, and it gives time for people to plan around it.
I would be interested in possibly attending such a gathering. I don't know how much help I could be, but if there's anything I could do to be useful, I'd be happy to pitch in.
Lee, thanks for taking that on. I love the dragonfly necklace and will cherish it.
JZ, that is a great idea, if her family agrees. If it helps, I know someone who's pretty well-known in health journalism, and I could ask for ideas on what we should do with the information.
Oh, and if help is needed with collecting all the posts, that is something I can do.
Pix, I think that's an excellent idea, too.
As for Kristin's suggestion, I would be interested in attending and helping plan a memorial. I'm happy to be the minion for the LA folks who know what we need (making phone calls, setting up locations, etc.)
Pix, that sounds like a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it this summer, but I love the idea of a bunch of buffistas getting together to remember ita.
