Amanda sent me Fran's blog and having read it start to finish, I felt compelled to write and express my deepest condolences. The world is a sadder place for having lost someone so witty, brave, intelligent and kind.

The first thought that went through my mind when I heard the news was the title of a book I heard about quite a while ago: "Why bad things happen to good people". Never read it and I doubt it has an answer that would even come close to satisfying any of us but it just popped into my brain because it seemed to sum this all up.<br /><br />My memories of G & R, Fran and all the fun times we had are something I will always cherish. <br /><br />Pat Sutherlandpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936318718906197696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391292228208905495.post-10204756476435571032011-05-09T22:28:51.874-07:002011-05-09T22:28:51.874-07:00Chip, I am so sad that you lost Fran.

Selfishly I guess I had hoped she would come back from this latest blow, and we could all get together again for some obscure takeout and talk about PDS HS or Richard Feynman or George Clinton.
