I'm posting this because it states something that hasn't been stated yet.
Laura was a _strong_ woman. Confident, assertive and still in this society let alone the microcosm of male dominance that is the techno scene this is not taken well. This is what made her controversial. In thinking I realized that even though it's been over a decade there still aren't alot of women like her with any sort of presence in "the scene". Though I'm sure she would not want to make an issue of this she helped forge a path that made it just a little bit easier for women behind to follow. I still lay claim to being a feminist and so her exit to _me_ leaves a gaping hole that will be very difficult to fill.

I think it's a very appropriate way to people to pass on their wishes that can't be in the country or can't make the visitation/funeral. And even if you are going to be in town and would like to contribute, that's cool too. You don't necessarily have had to meet her either to participate. Even if it's just a two line email passing on your condolences, I'm sure it would be appreciated. I'd be willing to spearhead this, so please send your privately (so as to not waste bandwidth on people who hate bandwidth wasters) your thoughts and I will bind them together and present it to the family when I go to the visitation Thursday night. Please have them in no later than Thursday afternoon EST. Thanks.
