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.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

Yes!
JZ, I think that's an excellent idea provided ita's family agrees.
This, too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

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.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

I'm getting the pig!
I like many of the things posted, but I want them to go to someone for whom they have greater meaning than "something owned by someone I loved".
What Vortex said.
Allyson, Burrell, Polgara and all: you are all possessed of fabulous hair. You have done so much, in such straits, it honors me to know you. And the obituary is fabulous, just perfect.
And what Consuela said.
I couldn't say it any better so I won't even try.
