Hey gang. Just got off the phone with Dude and he’s feeling brain dead and like he’s on autopilot. Understandable.
Here are the funeral arrangements for Lisa for those that wish to go or send flowers.
Lisa Gift Kelly
Saturday, March 7th
1:00 PM
Immaculate Conception church, 905 Chestnut St, Douglasville, PA
DONATIONS
Right, thanks to all of you that have emailed me and left comments requesting a way to donate to Lisa’s family. There are a couple of ways to go about this:
Use the Donation Button on Lisa’s Donations page. I’ve changed the Paypal address over to her husband’s address so he has access to the account.
Flowers are wonderful, of course, but for those that want to donate to causes close to Lisa’s heart, perhaps you’d care to view the list of organizations on her Ovarian Cancer page. A donation in her name would be great.
I hope this gives you a couple of options for those of you that want to do something more. John appreciates all the kind words and support. He says the girls are doing well.

Dear Ms. Krasnoff,
I am so sorry for your loss, you raised a very wonderful human being who taught us a lot about the meaning of life and will long be remembered for her funny, wise and honest posts, for one.
Dear Dude and the girls. So sorry, there are no words. I hope you one day will be able to find peace with this (?) and cherish the good memories.
Karl, thank you for this hard job you do. You do it so well.

Was “Gift” her middle or maiden name? She truly was one.

Mrs. K,
I got goosebumps when I read that. Lisa was truly a gift to many who have never met her. Me included. I got an email from her in regard to my friend Dave who has cancer on February 13th. She was telling me she was sorry to hear that he had a stroke and hoped they were not treating symptoms that made it worse. It made me feel good to know she could still write.
This may seem a long way off for you, but I’ll put it out there, anyway. My friend Pat lost her son to suicide in December. She is a blogger who writes great fiction stories as well as other stuff. She started writing again, and is beginning to feel part of the world again. Her son was 39.
If you ever feel like you want to share some stories about Lisa, maybe it will help you in your grieving process.
It’s a legacy, hers, this blog. And I know that when people pass, they are afraid of being forgotten. I will never be able to see or eat Jelly Bellies that are red, white and blue without thinking of her, or corn candy. I ate some last nite from my secret stash.
I hope everyone is leaning on each other and doing alright. Denise

Thank you, Mrs. Krasnoff, for letting us know, but most of all for the gift of your daughter. My prayers are with you.

–sigh– Clusterfook was the first blog I found and read, continued to read. Still don’t know much about the blogging community but how weird is it that I feel like I really knew Lisa. Felt as if, it had been too long since we had had coffee together, yet, we had never had coffee together. And I lived only a couple hours from her. I can only hope that lots of folks learned, and felt Lisa’s love like I did. She will remain an inspiration to me. I feel really honored that Lisa sent me an email a while back. That she took the time to email me? And I’d felt so insignificant……ya, she sure will be remembered with honor and love.

Hi everyone,
I’m a local so I wanted to let you all know that you can find Lisa’s obituary online here: http://www.legacy.com/ReadingEagle/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=124833763
If you click on the guest book, you can leave a message for the family that the family can then save and print. I thought it might be nice if all of these condolences got over there somehow.

Mrs Krasnoff.
I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathies to you, from one grieving mother to another. The order of this is so unnatural and unforgiving. I have an idea of what you might be feeling.
Please feel free to reach out to me if I can ever offer a non judgemental ear of shoulder to cry on.
Until then, just keep breathing. Sometimes, it’s all we can do and all we need to do.

I had an idea of another way we could honor Lisa and I hope it’s okay that I post it here (not sure where else I could ask for help with it). Would any blogger out there be able to make a memorial button dedicated to Lisa that we bloggers could post in our sidebars permanently? The buttons would link to Lisa’s blog of course.
I’m not good with graphics and wouldn’t know how to make one so I’m hoping someone out there could do it. Thank you.

Good idea. I know enough to be dangerous, but I’m sure someone else has far greater skills than I.

Maybe we can ask for someone to make one during the memorial show on Saturday?
This was done for a friend of mine who passed in 2007 (also a young mother and also cancer):

Her family has the “power of blog” and keeps her spirit alive like you will be doing for Lisa. I thought it might give you a little bit of inspiration and that Lisa’s family could reach out to them if they’d like when they’re ready. Her kids could even be of help to Cam and Teenie.
Just thinking out loud…..I wish I could do more to help.
