This just aired yesterday– this radio show from San Francisco was dedicated to Cass as she was a presenter on the show. If you fast forward to 6m 20s, you can hear Cass talking about the project, and just after 8m in you can hear Amada:
Thanks to Darrell Clah for sending this on to me– if anyone has anything that we can post, please contact me
The funeral service has been moved to 11am on Saturday, November 21st, to allow those traveling long distances to get there.
We will all meet at Rollies Mortuary, 401 Nizhoni Blvd, Gallup, NM 87301. This is at least 4.5 hours from Durango, so plan to leave by 6am to get there on time. The funeral procession will then travel 25 miles to Edison Yazzie’s ranch where Cass will be laid to rest.
Afterwards, the reception will take place at 2pm.
Here’s a map from Durango to the mortuary, if you need a map from anywhere else or to get turn-by-turn directions, just click here

It still just feels like this is a bad dream.
I’ve posted a minor status update on the kids at http://cassandrayazziehotchkiss.com/kids/
This site has been set up to honor the memory of Cassandra Yazzie-Hotchkiss, who died suddenly on Monday, November 16, 2009.
Cassandra was only 30 years old, and had many big plans and dreams. That her life was cut short was a tragedy that will have an effect on many, many people, both directly and indirectly. Cass was an amazing person, a dedicated mother, a wonderful wife to Jason Hotchkiss, a powerful activist, and so much more to so many people.
Please use the comment fields and our forums to share your memories, photographs and videos of Cass. Let’s keep her memory and her good works alive and moving forward.
In addition, all information about Noah, Amada, and Dante, her and Jason’s children who were seriously injured in the crash, will be posted as quickly as possible at the “Kids” link at the top of the page.
Please keep your thoughts and prayers coming as the kids work hard toward their recovery and our entire extended family works through the grief of this situation.
