Francoise & family -
I wanted to extend my prayers to you and your family. Not only is it obvious that you are a beloved member of the duke lacrosse team, but that you are an exceptional person in all that you do. Though I and many people who have extended their well wishes to you may not know you, it does not take away how saddened we are to hear of your accident. Stay strong - it will get you far...may you recover quickly...

Francoise, I have been checking the web site for an up date. Last I read was from your brother, Casey on June 27th.
Hopefully, you have had some wonderful progress since then, and you will still feel all the prayers and good wished that come your way daily.
Please know that you and your entire family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Fran, We are thinking about you and praying for you everyday. My Mom lit a candle and said a prayer for you at the Catedral of Notre Dame in Paris this past week. We hope they bring you home to Baltimore soon, we can't wait to see you! As soon as you are ready, there will be fresh batch of Terry's chocolate-chip cookies delivered.
We love you,
