I'm so sorry for your loss..Fran, back in 1998, as a long time 'fan', I recognized you as you left M'town M.Hosp..in your white Checker cab, and I was leaving the Sr. Rehab. across the street from seeing my Mom. We drove next to each other for a few blocks until you turned onto 287, and it brightened my sad day, Then I almost met you through the Cousineaus', who were hosting something for you, but I had to return to Alaska the next day and missed it. I know this is just a puzzling distraction, but I hope, even that will relieve some of the emptiness right now...from an old Jersey gal.
