Memorial gathering for Tiffany tonight

Thank you Brewster, for this thoughtful message, and to you and MPM and
everyone who is stepping up to celebrate Tiffany's life in the painful
process of mourning her loss. Yet another reminder that this is a
truly special community. Love and tutus to you all from FL. :'(
