Sleep Allyson. You have lovely hair and you have more than earned a chance to rest and recover. So far beyond. And tell your demons who keep lying about you to you to go to hell. You were the best friend anyone could have had to ita and you did wonders in handling the aftermath.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
for Buffistas who want to come to LA to meet and celebrate ita's life.
Oh, yes please. I want this very much. Thank you, Pix.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
You guys have done all of the heavy lifting - planning, physical logistics, and bearing all those emotional burdens alone and for each other and with her family - and you absolutely deserve a break.
To be extremely clear, I am not among this group. Although I have been lucky enough to benefit from their love and planning, I am not one of the LAiastas who was closest to ita and have not had any part of the heavy lifting.
I feel really strongly about not stepping on their toes in any way on this.

The print version of the LA Times is lovely. The picture is much bigger, and they got the i in ita right in both locations.
Everyone who helped with this has incredibly lovely, shiny hair.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Is there someone in LA who could grab me a print copy that I could purchase and pay for shipping from?
ETA, the scan will do me fine.

Here's a scan of the print copy. I'll try to pick up a few extra copies if anyone would like one.

I hate that it exists, but the print copy is beautiful.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Polgara, and Jane and Allyson and Kristen, you all did an amazing job on the brunch. It was lovely, it was perfect. Her family, like ita, are beautiful through and through.
And thank you, Pix, for taking on the task of planning a later memorial for ita.

Someday I'm going to work up the courage to meet the LAistas. My biggest regret is that I didn't work up the courage while ita was still here.

Rayne, FB won't let me see the picture. Is it set as viewable to the public or do I need to send a friends request?
