This is stupid but I have to show the sausage again. That is a truly disgusting-looking sausage. I love it and all it represents! Even though I wasn't there, I feel like I shared in the experience. I laughed so hard at the story!! I'm giggling thru some tears now, too. {{Shan}}

Last night, after we finally got the news, I kept thinking about S'cubiefest, remembering how happy Patti was. And it was absolutely killing me to know she wouldn't be there in September to watch Serenity with us, or reprise her duet of "I'll Never Tell" with Rob, or just joke with us with that wonderful, soft drawl of hers. But as I kept flashing on images from S'cubiefest, remembering Patti's face when she first saw the umbrella we gave her for being Board Protector, it occured to me how lucky she was--because she knew, without doubt, how much we loved and valued her. She knew she'd built something very special, and that she had friends--a family--who would always cherish and be there for her. She knew she belonged somewhere, that she'd never be alone, and that she mattered so much to so many people. And knowing all of that is such a rare and precious gift, one that far too many people go their whole lives without experiencing. I'm so glad and so thankful Patti felt that in her life, because she was far too special for it to have been otherwise. Patti, you were our patron saint, and will forever be our Board Protector.

Especially when Patti oh so innocently offered her meatballs as well...

Finally got a few hours sleep. Doesn't help with the hurt but helps, in general, in coping with it.
Board Protector. I couldn't be at S'cubiefest '04, but I am so grateful to those of you who were there, and who were so thoughtful to Patti. I made her tell me all about S'cubiefest and the folks she met. She loved meeting everyone and was so touched with the Board Protector award. It wasn't always the easiest thing, being Patti - being "uber-technopagan," for this board. She had amazing resilience and patience and confidence in herself.

I have just received an e-mail from Spring telling me the news. I have not had a chance to read more than Vlad's first post, but I will join in the chorus that Patti was a truly remarkable member of the S'Cubie board. She gave so much to the board in both her techno-pagon capacity and in her posts that it is hard to believe that she is gone. There are no other words - this is just too sad a loss. Kerrie! Many hugs! Glad you got my note, and thanks for adding your voice to the chorus.

{{Sara}} Thank you for being able to say the words that are eluding me right now. {{Patti}} Our Board Protector and our very special friend. EETAH what Cal said. To know you're loved and to love in return - that's what it's all about. We were all so fortunate to have known Patti's love. {{S'cubies}}
