I remember Mrs Fricot as being a "go with the flow" kinda person.Then she would go off and do her own thing as Suzanne and I ate popcorn in the kitchen (Manton). It was quite fun!

Mark, Jean, & Sue: My sympathy on the death of your Mom. She is the last of the Monkey Wards bunch which were in fact, quite a bunch. I remember her laugh which was hearty, and of course all those dinners we had a your home. Good times. Your Mom & Dad were incredibly important to my Mom when my Dad up and left her with two kids.
The generation which has passed certainly did the best they could- hopefully we will be thought of as well - although current behaviors make me wonder.
I apologize for not being there - but I just found out and can not make it tomorrow. Again my sympathy-
