Pre-emptive proposal. Somewhere down the line, in the far, far, future there will eventually be a break-down in communication/understanding somewhere along the line. I suggest we work the concept of "What Would Patti Do" somewhere into our board FAQ/rules/etiquette/oral history/whatever. As in "step away from the posting button; take a deep breath and ask yourself: WWPD?" Maybe just the thought will keep the wolves at bay. Sorry, I can only go so long without: I miss Patti. Edit: we could have buttons! I think that's a beautiful and wonderful idea, Sue! I, like Onjel, was a long time lurker, and whenever I think of the S 3 board, I think of Patti first. In my mind, she will always represent what it means to be a S'cubie. {{Sue}}

This posted so far down the board, I've placed it here and on the main board as well.
Patti's family have made the arrangements.
The service will be at:
Pat H. Foley Funeral Home 1200 W. 34th Street Houston, Tx 77018 713/869-6261
The service is Saturday, 1PM
There will be no viewing or visitation. The family has opted for cremation with internment after. They are asking for suggestions for Patti's favorite music. Beyond OMWF I had few ideas.
Any suggestions?

I remember lots of conversations abouts books and music and so on, but no music specifics are coming to mind. Plenty of book memories, but we don't need those right now. Which is probably why I can't remember, my brain always being perverse and denying me the things I need when I need them. I will probably remember some details weeks from now, when it will be a happy memory but not particularly helpful. Perhaps Vlad or Rob would know more? Lola

So - folks, how about I send a nice bunch of flowers from the site, then anyone who wants to contribute can IM me?

And---assuming that you hear from a lot of people soon, maybe the card with the flowers can also say that a donation has been sent to the American Diabetes Association as well. (Just guessing that you may get more $ than just the flowers will cost.)

Well, as someone already quoted the Prayer of St. Francis, there's Sarah McLachlan's version that was sung at the end of Grave.
I suppose suggesting Michelle Branch's Good-bye to You might be considered a shade morbid, but oddly appropriate?
And of course, there's the theme from The Gift.
That's all I've got off the top of my head. I have to leave now.
Oh, and Spring, I'm up for a contribution. You have my email address.

If anyone wants to IM me, I think I can email an MP3 file of Sarah MacLachlan's version of The Prayer of St. Francis & Chris Beck's(?) The Sacrifice, which was the music playing at the end of The Gift. I don't think I can messenger a CD soon enough, though. Love, Linda

Lola I made a couple of suggestions over on the Main Thread: "Let it Be", The Beatles "Here Today", Paul McCartney (from the Tug of War CD)

I am thinking Rae might know . . . but I don't. So - folks, how about I send a nice bunch of flowers from the site, then anyone who wants to contribute can IM me? *sigh* Feeling hopelessly memory deficient right now. I hate my memory right now. I should know this... I can picture her standing in front of my CDs and picking out ones she liked. I can picture her doing a little excited dance when I picked out a CD and a song she liked came on... I can picture her singing along to a song on the CD Rob picked but, but... I can't hear the songs. Though *sad smile of memories of Patti*, if she were here, she'd happily and jokingly tell you that this is nothing new as I'm not the best at figuring out songs. If I were going to be there and say a few words (and I wish I were), I'd probably play "Joy to the World" or one of the other songs she tried so desperately to hum to me... I can still hear her humming as Rob and Vlad disappeared down the hall to laugh at my suckiness at guessing - despite the wonderful job she did humming. A long post to say, I don't know. Did we once list songs we liked? I should search for this, huh?

A general post:
I have replied to al lteh im's that built up today. I apologize for having been unavailable... it ws due to lengthy , lengthy time spent at the hospital for my mom. Just impromptu tests and nothing "life or death" jsut irregularites. I believe I am now caught up for hte most part and am going to leave and grab some food and watch a Pacer playoff game. I will probably be on later this evening and if not then, by tomorrow morning. I dont want anyone to worry. I am doing okay, jsut a little spread thin.
Vlad

Patti and I shared favorite music often (tho much of it was my stuff to her) and I will see if there's anythign she sent me that seems "appropriate and get back with it tomorrow. Vlad
