One of our community members, Elizabeth "Libby" Dodd passed away on March 22, 2021 after a long struggle with addiction. Her family needs assistance with the cost of burial. Whatever you can give will help our community members. Follow this link to donate. https://www.gofundme.com/f/funeral-fund-for-libby-dodd Libby was an amazing young woman, possessed of an intellect that dazzled even brighter than her smile. She finished high school in six months, and enrolled in college... at the age of 16. She was brilliant and beautiful and kind. Unfortunately, through work, she fell in with a bad crowd. She developed addictions that used her extraordinary intellect against her. And eventually, she succumbed to them. She was found in a motel room. Everything she owned had been stolen by other users. She was 20 years old. Her brother-in-law, Bob Anderson of Petrichor loved Libby as a sister. We have watched her parents suffer through their grief while we struggled to pay the exorbitant funerary costs, and while those wounds are still raw, we find ourselves thrust into the same challenges. The proceeds from this GoFundMe will go to offsetting the cost of burying their second child in two years. Our target in $5000. Even if you can only offer $1, please do so. Those dollars add up, and every little bit helps. Thank you for your assistance. https://www.gofundme.com/f/funeral-fund-for-libby-dodd https://www.gofundme.com/f/funeral-fund-for-libby-dodd

Do not attempt to remove it from the pan until it is cool. Sprinkle with vanilla sugar before serving.
