Just a moment of your time, please.

My dear friend Ms MLD passed away Sunday after a valiant battle with cancer. Hopefully a good number of you remember her; she was most visible at cons at the table of  thegneech, and often I'd have a table nextdoor. She managed multiple duties as barker, salesperson, customer rep, and troubleshooter.
She was also essential in getting i.s.o. off the ground. While she fulfilled all the online orders (including organizing all the signings for pre-orders), she was also the one who found the printer originally...at the time there were few options compared to now, and I could neither afford nor figure out LuLu.com's format, but she had a local friend who made the printings possible and easy.
And ever since then she has gone above and beyond the call of duty to be supportive and helpful at...well, everything. If anything needed fixing, she would find a way, and you often didn't even have to ask her directly. You can ask anyone who knew her. I remember the one time I got Dev to AC, and Delta (never using them again) lost his luggage. When it was getting upon the SECOND day of them not sending it to us, she let them have it on the phone--and soon it was on its way. That was Kerry. Total sweetheart, but all business when shit needed to get done.

Anyway, this is an open call for all the people who've been by our table, from Gneech and our mutual friend  susandeer...

Sue's request says it best:
I'm making a gift for her and her family, a token of our love and appreciation, and I need your help. If you draw, I need your b&w/limited color sketch of a bunny, a pooka, or a jackelope with a little message. If you write, a poem or paragraph or song. You needn't be the best at it. Creations that come from the heart are perfect at any skill level. The drawings and writings will go into 2, 5x7" books. One will go with Kerry and one with her family.

Because I don't have the details of final arrangements as yet, I am assuming that time is of the essence, hence the limit on color work. The less I need fuss with the printing the better.

You may email any creative tributes you'd like to make to suerankin at suerankin dot com If there is time and you wish to send the original along for her book as well, I will provide you an address.

Gneech is also helping out if you'd rather forward to him at thegneech[at]gmail.com He's also noted that photos of her at our dealer room tables, or at the Suburban Jungle room parties, are very much welcomed.

I imagine some of you must have archived photos or whatnot, or have some spare drawing/writing time. I haven't gotten full info on the services yet, but the next day or so would be great. Please help us pay tribute to someone who did so much for the fandom...quietly and behind the scenes. If nothing else, for those of you who enjoyed i.s.o.

Thank you.
