For any who know or knew the Hutchinson family, longtime masters of Brown, their daughter Emma, who had been in poor health for much of her life, passed away on Saturday morning.

Emma was someone I knew only a brief time, but her spirit and joy were obvious even in the face of the adversity she lived with daily. I was lucky enough to spend time with her during a wedding--a time of fantastic celebration and hope for the future. Her shining smile is one of the best memories I have of that weekend. She will be so very greatly missed--I can only imagine how much so by those who were lucky enough to know her better than I did.

Services are Tuesday, August 26th at 4 pm in the Grand Hall of the RMC, with reception to follow at the Brown Masters' House.

This is very sad indeed. Emma was everyone's kid sister at Wiess in the mid-90s. I never quite believed she was grown up and in college herself. My heart & condolences go out to Hutch, Paula, and Ashlyn. I hope they're holding up OK through such a huge loss in their lives.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon her. Amen.

Wow! Even when you know it could come at any time, it's always a shock when it happens. We will keep the Hutchinsons in our prayers.

BTW, it's not off-topic to support the Masters and their family. Definitely on-topic. It's a sad day for the whole Rice community.

Wow, I can't believe it. I've always been worried about it happening, but she'd been in and out of danger so much that I started to believe that it would always be that way... I'm just in shock. To think, just last week I got an email about her making progress again. wow.

Prayers for the Hutches, indeed.
