Life is short. It is hard to believe but two key participants in last November's school board election have lost husbands. I was recently informed by post on this blog that Jill Parvin, a key Guffanti supporter lost her husband suddenly and unexpectedly.
Yesterday I learned that Barbara Franklin lost her husband on February 4th. I am told there was no warning. All very awful. We remember the incredible dynamo that Barbara was in organizing the VTA election strategy. She was a key to our incredible success as the chair of the VTA-PAC. With all that was going on she still managed to read the Twilight books at the same time. One night staying up to 4AM reading. Good times then. Very sad times now. Life can be so...
Here is her husbands obituary from the NCTimes:
