I'm sure many many people have sent theirs, and I don't know you or your sister, but such sad times bring hearts so close together.  I am leaving for the GC in 10 days, my first time rowing it, and it is bigger than anything I've done.  So I've thought a lot about Ranko, and the friends who were with him.  I just wanted to share my sadness with you, and the group that was with him, we are all touched by a person's death who shares something with us, if only through common passion.  May the sun shine on everyone that he touched, and spread his passion amongst us all.
