This is my grandmother's youngest sister
Frances
she was my Aunt Francie
 |
| Christmas 1983 |
it was her cottage that we used to go to
and she inspired Mom & Dad to build their own
with land she sold him for $1.00
another great cook ~ a lady that loved family
and gathering everyone around the table
whether it was turkey dinner
or barbecued hamburgers
she told me stories about my grandmother
and showed me what grace looks like
when she fought breast cancer not once but twice
then it became even too big for her strength
when it took her in 1984.
she loved flowers and family
dogs ~ they always had at least 2
darts and cards ~ oh the times we had
and the memories we made
a piece of my heart will always belong to this brave woman
and memories of her will make me smile

She sounds like she was an amazing lady, Lori, very warm and full of life. How lucky you were to have her in your life.
