And so Lani Silver, the passionate activist who organized scores of events for more than four decades for her friends and causes ranging from the Holocaust Oral History Project to the 10th anniversary of the death of hate crime victim James Byrd, put on her last and best event Sunday afternoon at Congregation Beth Israel Judea in San Francisco.

The event was her own funeral service.
