My grandma Frances Marie Agnew passed away on October 26th. She was a strong woman and liked to do and say things in her own time and way. She was a very proud, supportive grandmother and rarely missed one of my soccer games or track meets in high school. She loved to spoil her grandchildren by keeping a stock of treats like lemon drops and circus peanuts. In my opinion, her best dishes were meatloaf and pot roast... it smelled so good in her kitchen! She loved mystery novels and tv shows like Murder She Wrote and Perry Mason. One of my favorite exclamations of hers was "Heavens to Betsy to Mergatroid" ... I don't even know what it means but it makes me smile when I say it! With the birth of my daughter two weeks ago and the passing of Grandma Francie, I have a renewed perspective on the cyclical nature of life. As my Auntie said "one angel leaves us and and one angel arrives." I love my grammy and will miss her!
