I’m sorry. I am not handling this very well.
UF passed away on January 3rd from a heart condition. Most of you know Urethra Franklin wrote all the AHS posts here and was someone very close to my heart.
The funeral is tomorrow. We are expecting snow here today and everything is on bizarro land schedule. I am trying to get there but it seems unlikely.
I just need this not to be true. Please.
Seriously.
I’m sorry, Tamara. That’s terrible, and my condolences.
So sorry for your loss, Tamara.
I am so sorry, Tamara.
So very sorry to hear this. I have been there (I am still there, my loss happened 8 months ago and still feels surreal) and am sending you all my sympathies.
Tamara, I am so very sorry for your loss. May your friend Rest In Peace. Sending supportive thoughts and prayers for you and other loved ones. xo
Sending you a hug.
My sincererest condolences..
This is terribly sad. Having a steady online friendship is an amazing thing. Its solid in of itself. I’m sorry for your loss Tamara. Please take care of yourself. ((HUGS))
my friend, loss is loss. I completely understand and can relate. I have many friends on the internet and they have had my back when necessary. Internet has changed, we can share on instagram/twitter/facebook/snap chat and blogs..as time goes on and we each prove who we are, we start sharing, so it is not loserville to miss and have feelings about a human at the other end of the keyboard.
loss is loss, take care
sometimes life sucks. If.this was someine thst posted here and received comments please let the family know he brought joy to your followrs.
I’m so sorry.
I’m sorry. I worry about you.
I’m so very sorry, Tamara.
My thoughts are with you in your time of sorrow. Love you. Great big hug.
I’m sorry for your loss
So, so sad. I’m sending my love…
First time poster. Thinking of you Tamara, you don’t have to explain your connection to anyone.
Deepest condolences and hugs to you, TT.
So sad. He will be missed. My prayers go out to everyone that will affected by his loss. ❤️
Terrible. So sorry
hugs and prayers to you. I had a death in the family this week, and my heart aches for you,
Take care of you. We will be here when you are up to returning or want to talk things thru,
I am sorry for the loss of your friend
So sorry for your loss as well @Smitters. Hugs and blessings to you and the others who feel this loss.
ty,
So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss, Tamara. My deepest condolences 🙁
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.
I am so sorry to hear of her passing, and of your pain in her loss, it is a terrible feeling, I know. I will miss her posts, too.
He will be deeply missed
Always enjoyed reading his reviews AHS
I’m so sorry, Tamara. UF seemed very kind and funny from his comments on here and on Twitter. I know you guys were close. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time. Xo
Condolences Tamara
I’m so very sorry. Really enjoyed the posts and twitter banter. May the memory of UF be eternal.
UF was such a good friend to me. He was like an older brother. He always knew where I was. Because my personal info was all over the Internet, I never let you guys know when I went away to the cabin, or to Paris but UF always knew and always gave me his cell to call him from anywhere if I needed him. He had the kindest heart. I am devastated that his heart has failed him. I am beside myself with grief.
Bsnjo is the cutest dog in the world. But he is mean and an attack dog. This makes it very difficult to go anywhere without him. I am still trying to manage to get to the funeral but it seems unlikely given the snow we are expecting her.
I am not handling this news well. I first learned of this news in a tweet and wrote it off as just more vitriol from the basket of deplorables who send me horrible shit daily attacking me and my family.
I am still trying to hold out hope that this really is not happening, but I have spoken to his sister several times now.
He passed on January 3rd.
Please pray for his soul.
I will, and for you in this horrible time. Grief is the worst. He was lucky to have had a friend like you.
Oh you have that reversed. I was so lucky to have known him.
I am so very sorry. AHS is/was my favorite. Even though I seldom write, I am on your site everyday to read, laugh and sometimes cry. Urethra will be missed.
awwww. Loved UF’s energy. Condolences,
Omg did not know it was UF until this updated post. His posts will be missed. Tamara, I’m soooo sorry! You must be so torn up. Prayers for his peace, and also for you, his family and friends. Terribly sad news. My heart goes out to you. I do know this kind of pain too well and there really are no words. xo 🙁
Much love and respect for Urethra it’s heart breaking to know it was he who passed.
I was hoping this was a nasty trick as well. Please let the family know we enjoyed his wit, and will miss him.
I’m so sorry to hear this 🙁
No, you don’t understand. They are really really good people.
I thought she couldn’t afford cable? They are in so much pain with so many diseases to discuss to death how does she or them have time to harrass TT. It’s fucking gross to insult someone grieving for a friend. Who fucking cares how they met. People meet online and get marrued now in 2017 for goodness sake. I think the diseases they really have are called laziness and bitterness. I’m glad TT told them to burn. Assholes.
No.NO!! Not my AHS buddy. I’ve be coming here for 2-3 years. He was here before me and you can bet I noticed when he was not commenting as often. Dammit! I had a feeling something was wrong. I am so sorry, Tamara. I feel some of your pain on his one. Whenever I saw his comments, it was like seeing an old friend. GOD! I can’t see to type for the fucking tears. Love to his family and friends.
Yes. Karma is a bitch. May she be swift in her dealing with you.
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved friend. You are in my prayers during this sad time.
So sorry to hear this
Love being sent and RIP UF xxxxx
I’m so sorry TT. His recaps were great. Be careful out there with this southern storm we are getting. God’s speed UF.
His clever name made me chuckle. My prayers go out to you and his family. May he rest in peace. I love this site and he was a big part of it. Biggest Hugs!!
So sorry for your loss. Sending thoughts and prayers to you and to his family.
Oh no! TT, I’m sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you, and all of UF’s loved ones.
I am so very sorry to hear this! Long time lurker who always looked forward to and enjoyed Uretha’s comments.
I’m so sorry. Urethra was a great witty writer and always made me laugh in the blogs and comments. My deepest sympathies to you!
I’m so sorry to read this Tamara. Sending love to all and lost UF & prayers for peace & comfort.
I’m so sorry to read this Tamara. Sending hugs to all who loved UF & prayers for peace & comfort.💔
Sorry…’sending hugs to all who loved UF’ ^^^
Oh nooooooo! This is terrible news and I am so sorry to hear it. I really enjoyed his posts and will miss the commentary too. I pray he had a speedy flight with his angels…😞
You have created such a wonderful place for people with like interests or who do not get out much socially to talk and vent. It’s hard to loose one of the family here. Thanks for your continued efforts to give us a place to feel safe to offer a laugh or opinion even when some feel the need to be rude and disrespectful to you for it.
I’m so sorry Tamara, for your loss, and this was not a catalyst for the bigger picture to be seen, by those who need to. Xo
I’m so sorry to hear this. UF’s comments and wit will be sorely mossed.
*missed
ATTA GIRL!!
I’m saddened to hear about UF’s passing. I enjoyed all of his posts very much and always got a chuckle every time I saw his avatar and read his name. He will be missed. I am sorry for your loss Tamara.
TT,
Your grief IS about you. Do NOT apologize. You have a right to grieve your friend, who by the way, was a revered part of this community that YOU created. No one has the right to treat you this way. The deplorables have flown waaaay over the cuckoos nest. Sorry for multiple posts but this has pissed me off to no end. They are like a group of blind bully cult members who have no self awareness that they are the actual unhinged ones. FFS, how long does this have to go on? Can they not take a day off out of respect for UF? They spent time here enjoying him too. They are NOT nice. They should be shut down as a hate/stalking blog for carrying this on for so long. Fucking sociopaths and cowards. Even if you pissed them off to start, two wrongs don’t make a right and this is not the time or place for any of that shit. SICK BITCHES! I hope in time you deal with them PERMANENTLY. In meantime, condolences. You are loved and appreciated, as was UF.
That is all. 💔🙏
This. Exactly.
Oh god, I am so very sorry to hear this. Prayers to his family, and deepest condolences to you. His comments were warm and funny. I know he’ll be deeply missed. Heartbreaking…
ps – I wish I could fling every, single one of those gaping cunts directly into the sun.
I am sorry for your loss. It is never easy to say goodbye especially unexpectedly. This is a terrible way to begin the New Year but you are a strong woman that has endured so much. You and those here hurting will be in my prayers.
Life is fragile people, use caution when handling the hearts of others. We never know how much time we have. This should be a great reminder for everyone to be kind when you can, it’s easier than suffering from regret.
Beautifully written, Crywolf. TT, my heart and prayers are with you.
I’m so sorry.
Since reading this, I keep coming back to your site to post something appropriately sympathetic and supportive. I feel how broken you are and I just have no words other than I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
I am so sorry, honey. Sending you tons of love.
I’m in shock and so sad to hear of his passing! My prayers are with him, his family, as well as Tamara.
Sorry for your loss. UrethaFranklin’s comments and blogs were always a joy to read. Was he the one you kept chained to the radiator? Well now he’s free to roam and post anywhere in both worlds. He will be missed.
This is such a shock. I loved everything he wrote here.
So intelligent and funny. He will be missed.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
For everyone’s loss.
I can’t even find the right words.
Sending you love and light. I will miss seeing his signature picture with each of his post. Very funny person! I am sorry you are going through this as well as insensitive people harassing you.
I always loved Urethra Franklin’s avatar and insightful and witty comments. My condolences.
I’m so sorry, TT. Sending my thoughts and prayers your way. UF will be missed!
I will miss his posts and comments. Sorry for your pain.
R.I.P., Urethra. I’m sorry for your loss, Tamara.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I feel sadness for you.
So sorry to hear this. I’ve missed his witty comments. Prayers for all his loved ones.
Sorry to hear. RIP Urethra.
The loss of a good friend takes a chunk out of your heart. Takes time to adjust, we never lose the memory.
He was appreciated by those who enjoyed his smart comments.
I always enjoyed UF’s comments and looked forwards to his recaps. He was a genuine and rare kind of friend to you, and I am so sorry to hear of his sudden death. Condolences to you, TT, and all his loved ones.
TT…I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you. I, for one, very much enjoyed UF’s take on things when he posted here. He was a member of this little community and will be greatly missed.
Beautifully said Laws, my thoughts exactly..Tamara, My prayers to you, UF was my friend thru your blog in my heart, after all these years in your community and I am officially grieving a friend. I will miss him dearly. Take care Tamara.
TT what Lawstangel wrote.
Urethra Franklin will be missed.
You take care girl.
TT, I’m very sorry to hear this, and sad for your loss. Remember, good friends never truly leave us, they are with us forever.
So very sorry for your sadness. Loved his AHS recaps. It is so horrible to lose such a close friend and ali. Thinking of you and sending hugs and prayers for a speedy healing and that all those wonderful moments together will turn into beautiful, happy memories and overcome the grief.
My thoughts and prayers are will all those who knew and loved UF
Are you fucking kidding me. What the fuck is wrong with you? Omg, I hope you die in a flaming ball of twisted metal
That is so sad. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Screw all those losers. Ignore them
My condolences, Tamara, sorry for your lost. ({})
Very sorry to hear about your loss TT 🙁
I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed UrethraFranklin’s recaps and comments, he will be missed.
Even the chains on the radiator are saddened tonight by this news. UF was one of my favorite people here and considered him a friend.
So sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you, I would be lost without my best friend to help guide me through this crazy life.
So sad to hear this. I swear on my grandfather’s grave, I was thinking about UF just the other day. Very random, as I am not a “regular”, but loved UF comments. Sorry TT, and for loved ones.
First time poster but long-term follower TT. So sorry for your loss…
I am absolutely crushed over this news. I got to “know” him through you and followed him on Twitter. He was hilarious and always commented back if you sent him a comment on AHS, or life in general. I loved his recaps so much that I actually waited for his recaps each week before I watched because it added to my enjoyment of the show. He also had hilarious tweets about his crushes on people. So funny and uplifting. I cried over this and I never even met him in person.
Sorry if I freaked you out last night, I was just so sad and worried about you.
Thanks for introducing him to my world, I can’t tell you how many times he brightened my day. Especially with his old twitter “photo”.
So sorry to hear..
Positive thoughts for you, UF and his family. Don’t let these haters get you down.
RIP UF
I’m sorry for your loss.
oh urethra. you will be missed.
I will miss Uretha’s AHS recaps. I really loved them.
Urethra Franklin was one of a kind. His witty comments & overall delightful personality will be sorely missed not only here but in the world at large. So sad to hear of his untimely passing.
So sad! I rarely comment but I read here every day. UF was so witty and I could always see how much he cared about you. He was so clever and I enjoyed reading his comments and your banter back and forth. Take care. You are in my thoughts.
I was relieved to have those overly sensitive, hypochondriac, chronic victims leave here. To see what they posted here today is truly deplorable. Cuntsatchel is too good of a name for the lot. Their saccharin sweet, Kum-ba-ya bullshit while clutching their mothers pearls over this site makes them the ultimate hypocrites. I wish them nothing but misery.
I am absolutely crushed for you. I know he was a dear soul to you and I imagine many others. A person of wit, charm, eloquence and sarcasm has got to have had major love from far and wide.
Even although my only knowledge of Uretha was through this blog I admired greatly from afar and loved to read his comments and also recaps.
There is no God cos of there were he would not keep taking good peoples and leaving utter shit cunts in their place.
I am so sorry Tamara my love. I have no words which will make anything better so I will leave you to grieve your friend. I know the horrible shocking feeling of loss – it cuts to the bone and actually made me feel devestated, angry and inconsolable, also a bit mental.
I send you love from Manchester uk, as inadequate as that is but it’s all i have to offer. Life is a cruel fucking mistress.
Yours, Caryll x
I have no words. I’m so deeply sorry and incredibly brokenhearted. When I see a post or blog from him, I knew I was in for something out of this world!
Again, no words. My prayers to all of you, his family, friends and especially you, our dear Tamara!
With love and deepest sympathies,
Amy Suter

What a loss. I enjoyed his witty and clever take on just about any topic. TT, I know you had a special relationship with him. Take care and don’t let the nasty emails and comments distract you from honoring your friend. ❤️
Perfectly said. Now I’m inspired to re read some AHS recaps.
❤💐☘
I’m honored to have shared a little bit of his spark through his presence online, and deeply sorry for your loss and the pain you’re going through. I know your soul hurts right now.
Not now Jenn – please.
Sorry but people need to stop being hypocrites and leave TT alone. She can run her blog how she chooses and if people don’t like it then she has asked them to leave 100 times.
Thanks Mary. I read your comments there and I ageeed with you. A shame of how you were treated because you were kind and just didn’t agree, as far as I could see. I didn’t read all comments. Just wanted you to know you are not alone 💕
Wow, what a shock. I know you and he were close friends and I’m sorry for your, and out loss. He was a good man.
I really liked UF. He was insightful, witty, and a bit naughty but never mean spirited or cruel. He will be missed. Perhaps a plaque on the radiator is in order.
xoxo
Daily reader, first post. TT I’m sorry for the loss of your dear friend, UF. A loss of this magnitude is devastating, especially when it’s so unexpected. A great friend with a sweet soul is a treasure. We were all lucky to know him through his spot on comments.
I’d like to add your site has immensely improved with the departure of the deplorables. Stopped reading there for awhile with all the ass kissery, health reports and over run comments by a cat. Be good to yourself and Banjo.
OMG! So sad to hear this, sad and stunned.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find some comfort in those here who support you.
I’m so sorry for your loss TT.
If it were not for UF’s recaps of AHS here, I would never have started watching a show that has given me a lot of entertainment. I purposely ignored all of the hype for a few seasons and I just didn’t get it until reading UF.
And since I tend to doze-off while watching sometimes, Urethra never lost the plot and explained things in a perfectly understandable way. I guess I’ll miss him for every episode from now on.
UF was laid to rest today. I wish I could have been there. I have a difficult time getting someone to feed Banjo, as cute as he looks, he is an attack dog. Plus we were iced in so even the folks that might have done it could not promise to get here.
UF’s sister was disturbed by some of the comments here. That makes me sad. But i assured her that UF was here in spirit defending me against the deplorables. He always had my back.
I had no idea he was unwell. We last mostly spoke about his father who was unwell. I loved him very much. Both UF and Xanadude and I talked during Christmas of 2015. I felt like the three of us were there together.
When I die, a TOTALLY expect a big gay orgy afterwards, Nothing would make me happier.
The pain is real.
Friends of mine were stuck at the airport in Atlanta yesterday, due to the icy weather. You probably couldn’t have gotten out. I haven’t left my house today, as I can’t get down iced over driveway. Take care of yourself; praying in time that you’ll be comforted with good memories of him.

Jen – I’m not going to make his death about a stupid online war, that’s demeaning. I actually spoke out against people there. In fact I told one of them they were horrible. Sounds kiss ass to me! You are entirely wrong in your reading comprehension. I had not read TT site before going there and I have no idea who sent that to TT. But thank you Jen for telling me what I should and should not say and to whom I should say it.
I think BOTH sites should not make someone’s death about an internet war. And TT looks like she has stepped away to deal with her pain which I for one think is healthy and I’m happy for her for that.
this is real life Jen, a real person has been lost. Maybe you need to invest in real life more.
You told TT to remove the comment then ended your comment with some nonsense about blog wars. I know this is real life which is why I responded to you coming here and telling TT what to do with her blog while she’s grieving a close friend.
Haha ok, sure. That’s exactly what happened 🙄
Wishing you well in your day Jenn.
Luckily your comments are up on both websites.
I’m sorry for your loss TT.
My heart is broken.
Lady C has graciously stepped in to help out. I appreciate her so much,
I never took the time to thank UF for his recaps and witty comments. Damn. With that said, thank you to Erica, CJbomb, LimeBrain, Xanadude, Ben, and a ginormous thank you to The Lady C (and any others I missed) for their contributions to this site. And as always thanks to TT. All of y’alls time and effort put in to continue to bring us great recaps and a pretty cool online community is very much appreciated.
I’m so sorry, TT. UF was such a sweet soul and he loved you. Take as much time as you need and thank you for sending Lady C our way. Please take care of yourself and Banjo ❤️❤️❤️
I’m happy to help however I can. As heartbroken as I am, I can only imagine how hard it is for you, TT.
And my deepest condolences to everyone who had the pleasure of reading UF’s witty words & loving snark. He brought so much joy to so many of us. The last exchange we had was him strongly suggesting I watch Downton Abbey. Needless to say, it’s amazing. I feel like it was his last gift to me. Be free, my friend. I hope George Michael is serenading you in heaven.
Beautifully said.
I’m sorry for your loss, too, Lady C. Like UF you are a big presence here. ❤️
This is a terrible loss, he will be so missed. My heart goes out to you TT and all of his family and everyone who knew him. I always enjoyed reading his comments and recaps. He was talented and witty.
A being as beautiful as urrnge lantana, so sweet and twice as colorful.
RIP Ureatha.
I am so sorry and shocked. We followed each other on Twitter. I remembered a tweet from Dec. that he was taking a break for health reasons. I will miss the tweets, comments and recaps. May his memory always be a blessing.
Awwwww, dammit, I’m so sorry to hear this news, my condolences, Tamara. I got a real kick out of him, just the name made me giggle. 🙁
This person copied my “… ” fraud!
Use your real name or what you called yourself before, coward.
Tamara, in my head, we have been friends for a while. I have even tried to muster up some courage here and there, to offer up some writing/recap coverage when I cold sense you were overwhelmed at times and sick of Bravo. But, you had Ureatha (if I’m remembering correct) to help you out with those cluterfuck shows (as well as others). Plus, I fear my skills may not be up to snuff.
My point Being, It’s sucks that you lost your friend, and it’s going to suck for a while. If only God could whisper to us the date when things start to feel as though they are going to be a little less sucks-tier, boy that would be helpful. But, we mere humans must endure the wait, and try to use the sucks days to remember something funny our friend said or did. But as life has it, it’s still going to suck for a while….until the day it lessens.
To quote someone great “Fairplay to those who dare to dream” RIP Ureatha, heal at your own pace Tamara
I CAN NOT believe that UF has died. I am including him in my prayers. He was an awesome soul and great AHS recapper.
FUCK! When I read this title I gasped so hard because it felt like I got punched in the stomach. I got up off the couch and danced to “Tear You apart” by She wants revenge in his glorious memory of his AHS: Hotel discussions.
UF, you will be missed — so dance the night way brother, say hi to Prince for me!
TT, I am so sorry for your loss. UF was hilarious, insightful and a blast to read.
Someone has told me the deplorables have the nerve to discuss UF. One of the last conversations we had was about what sacks of shit they are.
They seriously need to keep his name out of his mouth, His sister is not happy with them at all.
Sorry TT, I know you are devastated :(. This little poem someone gave me and helped me a lot when I had to deal with a terrible loss. The author is unknown:
The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright sea shells on the sand.
The sun goes down but gentle warmth
still lingers on the land.
The music stops but yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.
For every joy that passes
Something beautiful remains.
TT I know I don’t have to tell you to cherish your memories of UE. I know you are.
I am so sorry for the passing of UF. He made me laugh with his wit and I will miss reading his recaps and posts. My deepest sympathies to his family and to you Tamara on the loss of your friend.
Me. I knew.
Private message.
Tamara, hoping today is a less painful day. Sadly, no one, or no way to help.
Good thoughts.
Xo
I’m pretty sure he is haunting Ginamaire by now. That would be his first order of business. I’m so so sorry that he is gone. Sorry for your loss TT.
I had such fun with him on twitter from time to time. He was a great guy, and as you say, had a big dislike for bullshit drama the like in which the deplorable wallow. He has shared a few health issues but I had no idea anything this major.
He leaves a great void.
Such sad news. UFs clever, insightful comments will be missed. My condolences to all his family and friends.
Condolences TT.
Aww Tamar I’m so sorry to hear this. I know exactly what you mean when you say tell me it’s not true. Having just lost my daddy on Thanksgiving night and now his only living sibling (my aunt) is hospitalized and very low.It’s hard to accept. I pray for you to have strength, peace and light.
Very sorry for your loss. Death never gets easier.
Oh God I’m sorry.
I’m very sorry for your loss Tamra. I’ll remember you in my prayers.
I have been completely out of touch for months now, and just learned about UF. His soul was kind and sweet, and nothing will ever change that. I am sorry Tamara. I know how much you cared for him.
I read this post and comments when it was first put up. I had nothing new to add and to repeat what has. already been expressed felt it was not good enough for UF.
Did the longest time it was my desure to have UF respond to anything I wrote. It was a glory I wanted with a passion. When I finally got that response it felt I like I was annouted and good enough.
To those people who think a post like this one or this one should be taken down because you find certain comments are disturbing is wrong.
I read each comment and there is nothing here negative towards UF.
Is it because the good wishes are sent to TT and not you?
You should be crying tears of gratitude that UF had the respect of so many. So many people cared for him.
What is wrong with you for not feeling the love in here for UF?
