Jon:

Please accept my sympathy on the passing of Frances and once again a thank you for making it possible for our group to meet her--I think it has been over a year ago now. It was an honor and a privilege to talk with Frances and I am so glad we were able to do so. The fused glass movement will feel the void.

Regards,

Pat Zmuda

My sympathies to the family. Michael and Frances were pioneers in the fusing movement and have inspired countless people to practice this art form.
