My mother Diane Franyo passed away Thursday evening

My mother Diane Franyo passed away Thursday evening. She was enjoying the afternoon in southern California and cancer took her as well.

We had a lot of tough times. But I do remember her support with making games. Once she helped type in pages of machine code for a VIC20 game.

I learned tenacity from her.

But the later years of her life have been in extremely poor health and I feel guilty in my relief that she is no longer suffering.

I am tremendously grateful to Kyle Bethke who has stepped up and flew to LA to take care of the arrangements and support my step father Leslie Franyo.

So that I can bury myself in work - as my way of unpacking her passing. And still processing my Dad's passing just 6 months ago.

Makes me want to up my game on healthy living. Whenever I get grand kids I want to be there!
