Aunt Frannie
My favorite Aunt Frannie died this morning. Peacefully, in her sleep.
I remember Frannie as being soft-spoken, kind, loving, nurturing, talented, funny and accepting. I was sent to live with them at 16 when my mom could no longer handle me and she took me in as one of her own. She was so very tolerant of me and tried her best to guide me in the right direction. I'm only sorry I disappointed her too.
But I am forever greatful i was able to experience living in such a loving, quirky family. She raised 8 beautiful children who are all amazing in their own way. And they all bear traits of Frannie and that's such a good thing.
Frannie looked and acted exactly like my Dad...in a way, my tears are for him as well as for her and her family. She will be so greatly missed by numerous people, too many to count. I hope her and my Dad are lovingly reunited, rejoicing in the lives they've led and the people they've touched.
Goodbye lovely, lovely Auntie...
