Hi Bev, I am sorry to hear of Frances’ passing. I know you spoke so fondly of her and you two were so lucky to have each others’ special friendship. People like Frances teach us HOW to live. They are our gurus, in a sense. Happy Holidays!

I definitely agree with you! The older generation rocks. I, too, have always been drawn to older people.

Your writing is fabulous, Fran. Marnie reminds me of my friend, Frances, who just passed away Dec 2 at age 102 and 7 months to the day. Frances, too, lived by herself in senior housing. Although she was blind, she cooked her own meals every day. She “watched” TV every day keeping up with current events and “watching” golf whenever it was on. She loved to play golf when she was younger. Frances loved to make chocolate chip cookies for herself and those who came to visit her (She had more friends and relatives than anyone else I know.) And, best of all, Frances, kept her most positive attitude towards life. I will miss her very much. It’s so wonderful that you have found Marnie and can now enjoy happy times with her. Thank you for sharing this story. Happy Holidays.
