Funeral services set for Ann Richards
Ann Richards, the former Democratic governor who died Wednesday, will be remembered at a noon service Monday at the Unviersity of Texas Frank Erwin Special Events Center in Austin. She will lie in state in the Texas Capitol Rotunda from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Both the services and Capitol events are open to the public. Her burial at the Texas State Cemetery will be a private ceremony, the family said through spokeswoman Cathy Bonner today.

1. Do this for Ann

Many won't be able to make the services for the Capitol this weekend, but we can do a little bit to honor her wishes. Here's another paragraph from the same AAS article:

AAS 9/14 article
Richards memorial set for Monday
Former governor will lie in state at Capitol over weekend.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial gifts be made to the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, to open in August in the Austin school district, through the Austin Community Foundation, P.O. Box 5159, Austin, TX 78763, [phone], or online at www.austincommunityfoundation.org.
