Ian McLagan told those present at the memorial service that his late wife would be overwhelmed by the love he has received over the past week, from the Internet guest book at Legacy.com that contains more than 600 entries to those assembled at the memorial service.

"She would be embarrassed by all this fuss," McLagan said, talking to the crowd that included Austin musicians such as Charlie Sexton and Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton.
