She would always send me links to new styles of silver ankhs she had ran across, and then remind me that I should just get one as a tattoo.
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.
Thank you, Allyson, for posting about what happened. Much love to you, Kristen, Polgara, and Burrell.
I'm glad I got to meet her in person at the LA F2F at the Safari Inn. I always looked forward to reading her posts. She was so ferociously intelligent, and fierce about what she said, did, opined.
An everlasting regret will be that I never got to meet her in person. She was so dynamic and larger-than-life, however, I kinda always felt as if I had.
Did anyone contact Beverly?
Callaluna, me too. We'll raise one for you.
She knows.
Beverly saw the news last night. I don't remember if she's posted here, but she commented on my DW.
I need to tell mommy. ita called her after the terrorist attacks when I could get internet and not phone. She was profoundly grateful and still asks about my internet friend with the beautiful voice.
amyth and amych, I'm still in Durham. What time will you be at Fullsteam? I've got rehearsal that evening but it's downtown, so I might still be able to make it. If I do, I hope ita won't mind my having a Cheerwine in her honor, rather than a beer.
I'm sitting in a rest stop on the PA turnpike crying. I'm so glad everyone is posting and I hate the reason for it. I still can't believe it. I've been thinking of her while driving, and every once in a while it hits me that she's really gone. I had things to tell her.
