It is hard to summarize how important Fran and Julie were in my life. They brought energy and ideas literally to the table and inspired me from the beginning. When we were young Beth was with us so much it was like we were the real family.  

Frances and my mother were  roommates in the Village. And Julie was  the first genius in my life. They would come over for dinner and my parents would take Julie's bottle of vodka out of the freezer and place it in front of him with one glass, as none of the other adults really drank. Then he would get drunk and talk about the future.
He believed that space travel was coming. He believed in robotics. He believed in something called computers. He thought that brain-death was death. He believed in the right to suicide.

All of these were eccentric and rarefied beliefs in the early 1960's, but I was very inspired by his imagination, his ability to paint a picture of the future, and his command of information. He was my first hero.

    Fran and my mother were that first generation of Jewish women professionals. Fran had a glamorous aspect, she liked to host and she liked parties, and she found a way to enjoy her life. She was smart and tough and very foundational to my growing up.

    Sending best wishes to Beth and her family, and to everyone who is experiencing a loss today and over the years of this cruel disease.
