message for Greg

hi Carrie --

I'm a friend of Frances. Our mutual friend Danielle gave me the info for sending a message, which is below.

All love,

CAAF

Dear Greg,

We've never met, and yet I want so very much for you to get better!

I met Frances two years ago at Danielle and Andy's wedding. It was a joyful occasion, and Frances and I made friends in two seconds flat at the rehearsal dinner, which is, I think, the fastest I've ever made friends with anyone since kindergarten. Then, as you will remember, Frances set off last summer to Martha's Vineyard and we played at the seashore with Danielle. You were mentioned many, many times that weekend. I have heard so many stories about you, Greg. I know how dry and funny and smart you are, how good you are, the great affection you inspire in your friends, and how very much Frances loves you.

So it may seem strange to say, but yesterday afternoon I was thinking of you two. I was at the library, a very Frances place, and my thoughts flitted ahead to how I might get to see her in New York later this year and how that might be an opportunity to finally meet you, too, and how nice that would be. It was soon after this that Danielle called to tell me how ill you are.

My good thoughts are with you, Greg, and with the family and friends who are so worried about you. I am sending you strength and will to draw on. Hang on, come back, rest and be well again. There are so many people who love you -- and so many more waiting to know you.

Love,

Carrie Frye
