Dear Sabrina,
Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the children. I was shocked and shattered when I heard about Frank's horrific accident. I can't even imagine what you have been going through for the past ten days. As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the past eight years. His tragic loss leaves a terrible void in our office. He was so well-liked and respected by everyone who came into contact with him, both colleagues and clients alike. He had tremendous people skills, and as such, was a role model in our company and the industry at large. I trust that, when they are older, the children will be made aware of what an outstanding person Frank was in his professional life.
Sabrina, please feel
free to contact me if I can help in any way while you go through this very
difficult period. I will support you in any way that I can should you reach
out to me.
Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are here at the company due to their Father's tragic passing. Sincere sympathy, Darlene Francis |

"Don't eat
just before going to bed!" my mother used to tell me. "You might
get a nightmare." How right she was. I never believed her until it
happened to me.
It was on a
night when I felt hungry just as I was about to go to bed. So I made myself a
peanut-butter sandwich and a large cold glass of milk. After consuming them I
went to bed.
Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I
dreamt that I was with a group of people looking for an old woman. I was not
sure why we were looking for her but we all seemed afraid of her. Somehow we
had to find her. So there I was,searching
high and low for her in frightful places I had never been before.
Sometimes I seemed to be flying while at other times I seemed unable to move.
The whole atmosphere was one of fear, like a dreadful horror-movie in which I
was a victim.
After some
searching I entered a darkened room and saw a figure sleeping on a bed. As I
got nearer the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared at
me. It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She raised her
claw-like fingers and walked towards me.
I wanted to run
but was unable to. I tried to scream but found that I could not. In horror I
struggled and struggled to get away from the frightful woman.
The next moment
I gave a muffled yell and
found myself panting on my bed. My goodness, what a horrible nightmare it
was! For a minute or so I lay on my bed not daring to close my eyes for fear
of falling asleep again and continuing the nightmare. Then I sat up on my bed
until the horrible feeling passed. From then on I never eat just before going
to sleep.

It was early in the morning we
left Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which is one of three islands of Lombok.
It took 4 hours in total by boat. The travelling was not bad but it was a hot
day. I said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s alright babe, it won`t be so
hot and stuffy once we get moving.”
When we got to Gili Air it was
still quiet so we were able to get a bungalow near the beach for about $ 15 a
night plus breakfast. We shared our room with quite a number of geckos. Some
of them were quite large ones.
The weather was still hot when I
went diving. Jane waited for me at the seashore. She observed some fishermen
who had just caught some fish. She did not want to dive because she had a
trauma with sea animals. We had three days here which we spent walking around
the island which takes about an hour. Every night, we sat on the couches near
the beach and watched the waves and the stars.
It was a fantastic journey that I
ever had.

When he woke up from his nap he
could not see the donkey and started searching for the donkey everywhere. On

have you seen it?” the boy answered “I haven’t seen it.” This made the man
very angry and he took the boy to the village chief for punishment.
