[Penny Ladnier] Forwarding this about Kayta. She was a h-costume member for years. Kayta sure will be missed.
>> She is survived by two daughters, Eileen Martz, Eleanor Martz Gomez, >> Eleanor's husband Paolo Gomez, her "little" brother Gary, his wife >> Sabrina, and their children, and her mother. >> >> According to Eleanor, Kayta's stated wishes were that she did not >> want a >> funeral or big memorial service. As an alternative, I would suggest: >> >> Have a small gathering of friends, and serve caramels and >> butterscotch >> flavored items. Kayta greatly enjoyed butterscotch pudding. >> >> No matter which group Kayta was in, she was frequently a teacher. In >> S.C.A. and science fiction fandom, she taught hand crafts such as >> embroidery, hand sewing, and provided information on how to be a >> better >> costumer. For Dickens Faire, some remember her for helping them learn >> how to dance. So, if you have something that you can teach others, do >> so. It doesn't have to be hand crafts. Just share your knowledge with >> other people, and that will be a memorial to her. >> >> If you have a historical park in your neighborhood, help it out. >> See if >> they would like some historical re-enactors to put on period >> appropriate >> events. Kayta was involved with the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco >> where she created period appropriate events, one of them being a >> Suffragette Protest in March, I believe. If someone local could >> step in >> and keep events alive there, that would be a living memorial. >> >> One of the best gifts that Kayta gave me was that she was >> diplomatically >> honest with me when no one else would tell me things that I needed to >> know. I encourage others to do this with someone that others may find >> difficult. >> >> At this point, Kayta's daughters have not stated any particular >> wishes. >> If people want to send condolence messages, I will forward them. I do >> not feel right publishing their e-mail addresses at this time. If >> anything is stated, I will let people know. __________________________________________________________ Penny Ladnier Owner, The Costume Gallery Websites <http://www.costumegallery.com> www.costumegallery.com 14 websites of fashion, textiles, & costume history ======= Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.
