george dzundza always dies

If you're a fan, then you really should be reading grey matter every Friday after a new episode. You get the insight into the writers mind about what was going on in the episode, and all kinds of little fun tidbits and facts. And sometimes, like after Six Days, you get tears. Krista Vernoff wrote this episode. Actually, she lived this episode, and then put it on paper years later. Forgive the plagerism below, but its a taste of her full post. After you read this, go to grey matter, by clicking the name, or clicking the Seattle cam on the right.

"The card at the end of this hour of TV that read "In memory of Bob Verne" was a tribute to my father. He died six years ago at the age of 56 after a very short battle with esophageal cancer. He called me one day at my office at Charmed and told me he thought he had the flu. A week after that he had surgery on a massive tumor at the base of his esophagus....I'm sorry it was so hard to watch - but I believe that where there is darkness there is light. I believe that from death comes life. I believe that in the face of great pain, families become closer. Friendships become deeper. Life becomes sweeter. And I believe it's important to be reminded of the loss of love so that we will value and honor the love we have while have it.

I hope you do that."
