sent.  Members of the network community may send a note via e-mail to me, for
collating and forwarding to her family.  If you would like to send other

shipped on Saturday, 18 April.

Even if you don't have anything to say, but wish to pay your respects to her
family, let me know.  We will include lists of names of persons who didn't or
couldn't send notes, but want to be listed.
