I am the younger daughter of Florence Walker Simpson, friend of Frannie's since they worked the cosmetics counter together at W.T. Grant. For most of my life I knew Frannie (& Chappie)primarily from stories & photographs. However, in the past 20 years or so I've come to realize more personally what a truly wonderful person--& friend--she was. After my father's death & as Mother's health declined, there was hardly a week that went by when she didn't receive a card or letter from Frannie, often containing inspirational booklets or newspaper clippings she thought Mother might enjoy. When Mother died on Feb. 18, 2007, there was a valentine from Frannie close by in her hospital room. Since then, I, myself, have shared cards & letters with Frannie, & was privileged to visit her a couple of times (including the week after her 100th birthday last fall). There were tears & hugs, which made me feel I still held a piece of my mother. She shared stories--including the tale of the wedding gown--& memorabilia with me. I will miss her, but am comforted by the knowledge that she led a remarkable life, & now rests in peace.
