# Do you want a tribute image challenge for Jessie?
I've been asked for this on twitter and I'm unsure if it's the right thing to do - so vote now and I'll follow your wishes.

# I think not necessarily a tribute challenge, don't sort them by popularity or anything,
but yeah, somewhere that Jessie's family can see them all in one place would be nice I think.

# Notwithstanding the sentiment behind such images
they may still be a bit too B3tanesque for the family. Unless someone was to take all the presentable-to-your-grandma tributes and stick them on a DVD/memory card for a digital photo frame sort of thing.

# I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
It could get really tacky really fast. I think the idea below about opening up the raccoon icon for all icon owners, and renaming it Jessie would be a more fitting tribute.

Unless the donation mechanism can be subverted for a whip-round for some flowers to the funeral, and a charitable donation on Jessie's behalf, rewarding with the Racoon.

It's meaningful enough for those people who knew her, and un-obtrusive for those who didn't and won't really understand what it's all about.
It's a bloody odd / awful feeling when you realise you're talking about someone in the "past" tense.

# I just took Trellis TNG out to the park as I felt I needed some air
Bad plan. She was picking dandelions and buttercups, the sun was shining and the birds were singing their hearts out. I came home angrier than when I left.

# I think people will understand what it's about, without knowing who Jessie was.
I think it's a good idea. There is obviously a very strong feeling here, from those that knew her.

The problem is that like real life, after such an awful thing, life has to get back to normal.

Having a place for people to say their bit does absolutely no harm, and it allows the board to get back to normal without anyone feeling bad about it.

As for tackiness / B3taness . . well, I'm sure some of her close friends can go through the collection of pictures, and collect the nice ones onto a CD. Then at some time in the future, give it to whoever will appreciate it.

I like TGA's idea of the adopted raccoon too. Or a donation in her name to some charity.

# As I mentioned yesterday, it might be prudent to wait a few days for Prof. and the respectrive familes
to organise everything, then a discreet word to someone the prof. is in contact with from here to enquire if a charity has been nominated by the Prof. and Nina's family.
I think anyone organising anything here so soon might be a little premature

My bet is that prof or nina's family will set up a charity donation or something anyway, so we can all give to that in time. Right now, they're probably far too devastated to even think about this sort of thing.
