It's because of beautiful sentiment like this, written by Barb, that "Gran" will never be forgotten or truly gone because the impeccable woman that she was will forever live on in all those who "knew" her.
Frances Reid played an angel on television for the past 45 years. Now, she goes to Heaven to join the rest of her companions. God Bless you, Barb, for allowing us to feel as though we were there. Tomorrow will be a very difficult day for many of us who considered her our "virtual grandmother." Thank you for providing the summary so we can attempt to prepare for the bittersweet emotions tomorrow shall surely bring countless viewers.
To those who knew Frances, it is obvious that she was a gift unto them. To those of us who knew "Alice," it's obvious that she was a treasure our hearts will struggle to contain.
