There are so many stories! My 2 most memorable... Frannie used to come visit us a lot when we lived in Dubuque. She wore a medical alert bracelet and for the longest time I thought it was because she was an epileptic! So from then on her nickname for me was Aunt Eppy! And my second favorite story is one weekend when Frannie, my mom, a friend of mine and myself all went to Las Vegas for the weekend. We were late checking into the Golden Nugget hotel and somehow my mom and Frannie got a reduced rate "disabled person" suite. It was huge! We stayed out late having fun and when Karen and I got back to the hotel we were trying to be super quiet because we didn't want to wake mom and Frannie. Come to find out they were in the bathroom filling up the jacuzzi bathtub and laughing and laughing about how big it was!
Frannie always remembered everyone's birthday! And for the past 2 years that she stopped sending cards, she made it a point to call!! She was always a caring and so fun to be around!
I'll always love her and she will always have a very special place in my heart. She will be missed greatly. WE love you Frannie! Carol, Skip & Joelle
