As Every Day Passes…

The loss of her is felt so much deeper…..

Knowing as I do how much she loved her Second Life Musicians its such a tribute to Delinda that this is happening. Every single person on this list are musicians I personally know she loved and admired…I sincerely thank all involved with putting this together. I personally had nothing to do with it. Not because I didn’t want it to happen, I just wasn’t ready thats all. I left it to people far better at arranging such things. Thanks so much especially to AutumnFoxx and Chestnut and Freestar. You did it as she would have wanted it. Bless you and all the others that made this possible, I will try to be around as much as I can for this, but its really tough, so excuse me if I’m just quiet and thoughtful through it. One day soon, I will sing for her….but not yet…..I’ll be saying a short Eulogy for her at 2.30pm at Sailors cove…

A two day Memorial Celebration of the incredible life of Delinda Dyrssen will take place this coming weekend, Saturday 12/18 and Sunday 12/19. There will be live music, comedy, an art auction, a grand sail around Sailor’s Cove on Saturday afternoon and tributes to our dear friend. I know several musicians have written songs for Delinda so you can expect to hear beautiful original music over the course of the weekend. The schedule is not entirely finalized so expect some additions and changes.

OPEN MIC

We do expect the sims to be crowded so if you want a quiet place to listen you are welcome to do so at my home http://slurl.com/secondlife/Harbour/194/144/24 or at Crap Mariner’s Clocktree Park http://slurl.com/secondlife/Edloe/118/108/28. If anyone else would like to stream the Memorial on their land please let me know.

Enjoy more than 30 art works graciously donated by creative friends of Delinda’s for the art auction and you are encouraged to bid generously. The funds will go to KDIGO which is a charity that was near to Delinda’s heart. There will be art displayed on both sims so please visit Sailor’s Cove and The Pocket to enjoy the works.

One of the goals of the Memorial is to raise awareness about kidney disease and the international database for paired kidney donation that Delinda was promoting when she died so suddenly. KDIGO is a global non-profit foundation dedicated to improving the care and outcomes of kidney disease patients. Please visit the KDIGO webpage and read more about the organization here. If you are interested in learning about how you can give the gift of life by donating one of your kidneys please visit the US National Kidney Registry at their webpage here.

Delinda’s RL family and her SL friends encourage you to consider making a Memorial donation in Delinda’s name to the The National Kidney Foundation, which is part of KDIGO. If you want to make a donation I encourage you to do so via the webpage at this link http://tinyurl.com/2fhn3vw.

If you choose the “Memorial Gift” option Delinda’s family will get a note from the Foundation. I can’t think of a more lovely tribute than for them to get hundreds of notes so they know how much Delinda was loved. Please make memorial gifts for Denise Williams rather than Delinda Dyrssen. Thanks

stream needed for the Memorial is being donated by Oliver Szondi of Slipstreams, who you should certainly talk to if you are in need of a stream.
