Angie wiped tears from her eyes.  She stared into space like she could see Frances there with us.

     “She loved classical music as well as gospel music.  I always had songbooks in my office, and where she could find them, so she could get them.  Frances had her days where she played out on the piano in the lobby for hours, and she did.  She’d play Christmas and religious songs for us and the other residents really enjoyed it.  She had a gift to draw you in with her playing.  It was like magic and she had the emotion for it.  Sometimes, people play the piano and it’s just keyboard notes, but Frances was different.  She drew you into her music world and it seemed like she was playing just only for you.”
