My Aunt Fran, so incredibly important to me, so loving and kind throughout my life. Under that sarcastic witty and cutting outer crust there was a soft centre of vulnerable emotion. I saw that many times and our long talks revealed that there was much more to this complicated woman than most people understand. She was fiercely proud of her family, her children, grandchildren and my Uncle Dave. She loved her active life and dismissed her health issues with words like “Life’s a bitch but I will get through this…Okay? “ I admit I never doubted her unwavering commitment. There are so many memories of parties that brought family and friends together to play cards, hand out boobie prizes and share so many laughs that I continue to smile about them to this day. I will miss that BIG laugh, that HUGE smile and so much more that made my Aunt Fran so special. Here is a photo of Aunt Fran and my granddaughter Claire (her great, great niece)
