Frances Jean "Franny" Ozment

I miss you Mom. I'm sorry everyday for ever making you question my love for you. I was lost and broken. I see you in my dreams and you are there in my meditation. We know each other. I love you Mom. I miss you so much and wish we could have been closer. I remember you brokenly...I remember you making my clothes. You were so closed off and seemingly sad. When Dad died, you were unreachable. I miss you so much it hurts. I'm so sorry that we couldn't ever be on the same page. I was hurt badly when we moved to New Mexico. Bullied and assaulted. Shaped my life. You always took special care of my dogs. I saw your phone after you died, you were looking at a picture I sent you of gerbster and burnsy. I remember our last day. I love you. You said you loved each of us and said all of our names individually. You looked at me and asked if you were going home. I couldn't answer. I stayed with you for a while...I think I knew it was the last night. You said I love Kelly and Katherine and Ryan and Zoe and Jason and gerbster and burnsy. We played Uno and had fun. I am so sorry Mom. We love you so much

Frances was a mom to Kelly and Kelly was on my daughter's baseball, Little League team years ago. She was always fun, attentive and friendly. RIP

Frances and I were first cousins. Although she grew up in Texas, and I in Virginia, we visited back and forth all during our childhood. As adults, I visited her and Dennis several times over many years, before, during, and after the children were born. She was extremely family oriented! I felt like I knew the girls because I always got an update on what they had been doing.
We also spoke by phone. Whenever we were together, either in person or on the phone, we would pick up where we left off the last time we spoke.
I visited for a couple of days when they lived in Las Vegas. We went to The Strip and walked up and down, enjoyed the light shows, and the gondolier singing as he paddled a couple on the canal.
We went to dinner at one of the TV Chef´s restaurants´. She and Dennis tried to figure out the herbs and spices in each dish. The next day, she tried one of them, and it was pretty close!
I will miss her terribly.
My heart goes out to her family and friends.

I remember how often Franny was at our elementary school, when Ryan and Zoe were students there. She volunteered to help in the Library when their classes came in. She was a devoted and loving mother and grand mother.
