Named (my middle name) after my maternal Grandmother Frances of whom I thought the sun rose and set in her (my personal Angel in life!) and although she passed in 1969 was Blessed to have Grandpa until 2006. Miss both very much. My paternal Grandmother was also named Frances who was with us until 1991. She also was a Jewel in my life. Both ladies were the definitive 'Grand Dames' of their times. I was very close to my maternal Grandpa who lived to be 94 years of age and although I did not know my paternal Grandpa I feel as though I did through Grandma. Both Parents were priceless Treasures and Mentors in my life and are loved/missed as well. This year (2013) I bade farewell to my wonderful "Bud"/brother of whom I was blessed to be his sister & friend for over 50 years. He was truly one of a kind and there will never be another Elliott. ♥
