This might be beyond gauche to express condolences here, rather than more personally, but I just noticed the news in this entry and while I'm seeing your updates in the blogosphere, we're not currently in e-mail touch, and so I wanted to say that I'm sorry for Lisa's and your loss. My dad died when I was 17 and the loss doesn't dull over time...and I had forgotten that you had lost both parents already, when also younger. Well, now we're all part of a club of which no one would prefer to be a member.
