placeholder re memorial

Velma's memorial went well, thanks in large part to several helpful friends, so I not only had other people to move furniture and figure out what went where, I was able to say "ask Jeanne" to a large number of questions.

Lot of people, many of whom got up to speak; all the logistical stuff I'd been worried about worked well in the end, food and who would speak when and clean-up, and I got a complete stranger who'd arrived early to get me a cup of tea before things really started.

(I am waiting until Monday to post what I said at the memorial.)
