> Like all of you who I have seen e-mails from, I was deepenly saddened to learn of Von's passing. She was a solid scholar and always made a substantive contribution to MAC,AEJMC, as well as to the academy. While it is late, can't we as an organization--and I am talking about MAC--send flowers to the family? Is that appropriate? Is there a mechanism to do that--don't we have the money to do that? At any rate, that is my suggestion--it may be too late. If it is too late,can we make a donation to a foundation, scholarship (one that she would care about)in Von's name? Given the timing--if not a donation, how about a living memorial to the family, a large house plant, a
tree--something????? > By the way, E.K., I really liked your suggestion and I am glad that you're doing that. > With Kindness, > Anita Fleming-Rife > BE WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DON'T MATTER AND THOSE WHO MATTER DON'T MIND. > From: Ilia M Rodriguez Nazario <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2011 8:55 AM > Subject: Re: Funeral service and contact info > I am sharing this information sent to COD members by Linda > Callahan, in case it did not reach the MAC listserve.
