This is a partial repeat and correction of my previous post. Some of the memorial service organizers want their information posted here and some don't, and I was trying to make sure that everyone here had all needful information from the e-mails that are going around. I apologize for any confusion ( Read more... )

I am posting this at Guido's request. This information is combined from a few different e-mails. She writes:

Just a note, I don't really feel like maintaining this community for ever. It's somewhat painful for me, since it was supposed to be a community for keeping track of mixedborder's health, not a memorial community. So I'm going to freeze it on Thursday night.

Bye, Skyler. Far too soon.

I never really got to know Skyler well enough. We sewed beads onto fairy costumes, helped dress people (because we needed help in Ruddigore), and did silly blocking and what not. He was always cheerful and upbeat. It doesn't really surprise me that this extended all the way to the end ( Read more... )

I haven't been able to think of anything intelligent to say since this whole thing started. Those of you who've met me know that when I can't think of anything profound, I'll fall back on cliches rather than not letting my voice be heard. Not this time. Skyler was the kind of person who was apt to stop me and say, "Do you really mean that? How so ( Read more... )
