Title: God speed Manue
Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on April 24, 2010, 07:49:30 PM
My friend and fellow pilot Manue was found dead in a cemetery in Brownfield, Texas. She shot herself on the tomb of a friend that just died. The sucky part with close friends that take their life without a hint is ... you are left to wonder how close and what type of friend you really where :(

She built her own RV4, and here's a farewell video ... her performing the Bob Hoover trick  :salute

Wow, another one dead.  Sometimes reading the O'Club is like reading the obituaries in a newspaper.  I mean, first Flench's dad, then the last ANZAC trooper, then a guy's squadmate?  Who's next? 

My outburst aside, may she rest in peace.

Sorry about your friend Frenchy. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, I'm sure you were a great friend to her.

Too bad you gotta be a paying subscriber to read the article.

I hate to hear it for you Frenchy. Loosing friends that way is probably the worst way I know of because it always leaves you scratching your head and wondering why.

Yes Frenchy, that's how one feels.  So sorry.  When that happens it's just a mess all around.
