I'm afraid people probably didn't hear all of it over the talking and reminiscing,

Oh, I didn't expect people to sit there holding hands listening to each song. But maybe smile as they heard bits and pieces of it between the conversation. Or possibly curse at me for using certain crypoint songs.

and I'm glad to have it for myself. I'll also be adding it to a thumb drive for Moji to take with her, along with your email explaining the importance of some of the selections.

Awww, that really makes me happy.

Thanks for posting pics, Lee. I'll try to get mine posted somewhere as well.

The one of K giving the camera person a look kinda cracked me up.

I love that one. It is so K. She chided me for not knowing how to focus my new camera because phone camera! Easy to use! Which, true, but also new.

ita's dad looking at the slideshow just kills me.

Yes.

I had the privilege of standing with ita's dad and talking about the slideshow for awhile. It was powerful and sad and I wanted to be a thousand times more articulate and comforting than I was. What an amazing family.

I have to admit, the picture of ita's parents made me choke up. They still looked stunned.

I donated some money to Women Who Code and told them it was in memory of a friend at the request of her parents. They responded (!) and asked if I'd be willing to share ita's parent's e-mail with them so they could thank them and offer their condolences. Yay/nay?

ETA: Not that I have it, just concerned with privacy issues and sensitive subjects.

Thanks for sharing everything.

Yeah, Sail, I was wondering about that, too, even though I can't contribute till next week.

Lee, thank you for posting the pictures of all the items up for grabs. I didn't know her well enough to take anything, but it was really nice to see things and to imagine them scattering around the world to be beloved by someone new. Thank you also for taking and posting such fabulous pictures of the brunch! The second picture of Allyson and the baby is an especially beautiful picture.
