Friends and family have been active on Facebook, and it's been great to share messages there.  But Facebook is here today, gone tomorrow, and I'd like to have a more lasting record.  I hope family and friends will share thoughts here.  Much like funeral parlors' online condolence pages, but with more possibilities for sharing photos and thoughts, this blog is devoted to G.

How to Participate

If you're on Facebook, I'll have tried to set up a user account for you.  Log in with your first name, written as you normally capitalize it: like Ron, or JoAnn.  Your password is your Facebook email address (or address you've used to write me personally) with an exclamation point both before and after, like !pat@patp.us!  ALL lower case, no matter how you might sometimes write it.

If I don't have your email address, I couldn't sign you up, so please try signing up yourself (I'll have to shut that down if I can't block spammers) - if you have trouble, send me email and I'll make the account for you.

Ready to log in, if you so choose: Ananda, Andrew, Angela, Arne, Barbara, Beth, Bob, Bryan, Carlie, Chris, Christy, Dawn, Diana, Don, Erin, Flori, Frank, Gunilla, Jamie, Jan, Jasmine, Jay, Jerry, Jill, JoAnn, Judith, Kristian, Margaret, Marguerite, Pat, Patrick, Raynell, Rob, Ron, Samantha, Stacy, Sue.  I don't have email for Keaton or Jaimie.

I've taken the liberty ...

of copying Facebook messages over here.  After all, you'd all already put them online.  You can log in and edit or remove what you want.
