Sorry for your loss, Fran. Maybe you can take small pleasure from the realization that you and probably, to a lesser degree, Dave and Donny were "bright spots" in her life, also.
My little piece of sunshine is "Peaches", a cashier at a Shell station. I go out of the way 5 miles to get coffee there and take a little lip about being late...old...bald...whatever.
I look forward to it every day.
Be well,
Russ
