Just to let you all know that my foster Mum's daughter, Frannie, passed away at 2.30pm this afternoon. The whole family is devastated and I am having trouble holding it all together. The pain I feel at the moment is absolutely unbearable but I'm trying to deal with my 8 year old DS's grief too which is very hard.

For those of you who haven't read my posts before, could I please ask you to read this and give thanks for Frannie's life? I'm sorry it is a bit long but I believe she deserves to have as many people as possible know what a wonderful human being she was.

I was fostered in 1959 at the age of 6 months old to a wonderful lady and her husband and daughter. The lady was Sarah Ann, her husband Joe and one of their two daughters, Frannie. We originally lived in Dagenham, Essex but they moved shortly after I arrived to Brightlingsea in Essex where Frannie had got a nursing job at a nearby hospital nursing the elderly. Sadly Joe died soon after the move. Frannie's life was completely dedicated to helping others. She never married but fulfilled her maternal needs through her own Mum's foster children. When I returned to my biological parents at the age of 5 years old I kept in touch with "Mum" and Frannie. My biological mother has never once, in the last 38 years showed me the amount of love that those two women did in my first 5 years, and since. They celebrated the joy I felt when I met my future husband when I was just 14 years old. In 1984 "Mum" died by which time she was in her late 70s. Her loss left a huge void in my life but I still had Frannie. Frannie had sadly had to give up the job she loved about 20 years ago when the Crohn's disease worsened. By the time she retired, she had reached the position of Senior Sister in the hospital. Frannie was there through my series of miscarriages but shared my joy when my son was born. She has been a constant in his life and they adored each other.

The only link I have left now is "Auntie Fran", "Mum's" sister and Frannie's aunt. She is now 83 and though she is in wonderful health for her age, I fear that her niece's death will take its toll. They were more like sisters really, as Frannie was 69. They used to take holidays together after "Mum" died and have always been very close.

If you have made it this far, thank you. I'm sorry it is so long, but it was a life worth giving thanks for, even if you didn't know her personally.

Dear Jackie,

I enjoyed reading about every precious memory. My deepest sympathy to you & Frannie's family. You are so blessed to have had these people (your other family) in your life. Sounds like they were hand picked by God for you. Please carry their memory on to your son now.

Lots of ((((((hugs))))))) are being sent your way.

Jackie.....My thoughts and prayers are with you, and your family, ...and for your comfort and strenght.

It strikes me that there are so many things of beauty in life and in the world...but most are fleeting and fail..

..but from the type of person it sounds as Frannie was...that is a type of beauty that truely is eternal and that outlasts all that we cherish here. Let that knowledge and belief comfort you in times of fear, woe and uncertainty...I believe, you shall see Frannie again.

{{{HUGS}}}

 

[Mishetta]

Wow Goofyposter, your words were truly beautiful. You should write for Hallmark! Your words brought a tear to my eye.

Jackie, I believe in angels, and I am sure Frannie is amongst them now. Many {hugs}.

Would you kindly add my oldest brother to the list of people to pray for?

He's been battling a bone disease for nearly 20 years now. for which he's needed to take massive doses of medication.

We just found out that all those drugs have caused cirrohsis in his liver. He is on the list for a transplant, since his doctor is now saying that without one, he isn't likely to live more than a couple more years.

We didn't expect to have him around until old age because of his bone problems, but he's only 52 now. His youngest child hasn't finished high school. We'd like to see him live at least long enough to see all three of his kids finish college.

Prayers and good thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

[Dan Murphy]

My prayers are for your brother, Janice, that a transplant be found and that he be cured. {{Hugs}}

This afternoon is when my DH goes to the hematologist about his high white blood cell count. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers at 2:15 EST. I am making myself a work of nerves worrying about it. I know one isn't suppose to worry, but that is the way I am and don't know how to change. I will post what we find out when we get home and after I call the family to let them know what we find out. Thanks to everyone.

Janice

Prayers for DH that everything will be fine. {{{HUGS}}} to you both.

I need you all to please pray for my DH & I. I know I have asked in the past but now is the time. Really the time. Thanks!

 

[helenabear]

I apologize for not coming back here earlier to post, but I wanted to know that every time I pray, I think of you all, whether I say it here or not. Continued prayers for all you in need of them. I hope these many prayers will be answered.

{{{HUGS}}} to you Jackie, Janice, Ellen and Brenda.

I am posting a request for a little 7yo girl who lives in my town named Brendle. She has been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer--stage 5. They flew her to St. Jude's in Memphis last week. They are doing double doses of adult chemo on her. Otherwise the doctors said they could only keep her comfortable. Please pray for this little girl. She must be so scared. It all happened very suddenly. The weekend before she was competing in a gymnastics meet! Her parents must be crushed and also must remain hopeful of a miracle. Pray for God's will to be done and that they may have help in accepting the outcome. Thank you all.

 

[Dan Murphy]

So sad to hear about Brendle, Brenda. Prayers will be with her.
