Frank

In Memory of Frank Robert Collier
Jan. 31, 1958 - Oct. 4, 2001


Today is the 7th anniversary of my brother's death. It seems like a long time ago, but almost yesterday. Time and space have mellowed my grief, and softened it to a rich sadness that doesn't usually touch me day-to-day, yet still he is here. It seems surreal to have the presence of someone you loved and grew with together reduced to a few grainy photographs.

  1. Hey girl,

    I'm so sorry about Frank. You've not spoken of him very much, just of Sam.

    Plant a tree for him--that's the best memorial, maybe a cottonwood or a pine for WY.

    FYI, you addresses at home are now rejecting my email as spam. I can't send you any personal email. Can you tell hotmail or whatever you use to accept mail from astone?

    Today is another inside-out day for an inside-out week, but are we on for lunch Tues?

    hugs
