ROTFLMBO too funny... how about Fran - close? my grandma's name was Frances - she was called Fran, Franny, Fanny and Frances. When she was a kid they all got the flu and her father died. She was so sick they dug her grave next to his and then left it open all winter just in case. She sewed on an old hand crank chain stitch machine. Lost now.
Nah...I'm gonna leave it "Fannie"...that way I have an excuse to smack him, cuz he's GONNA say it again! :lol:
You know Miriam...you need to be writing these family stories down...they're wonderful, and what a treasure they will be for future generations!
