“ Fran- a fruitful life.
Fran- Its almost 15 years now I met you first-time!
I always think about your +ve attitude towards life which was on you when we met last time around Christmas 2020 when you visited Vicon.
You were very weak, but it was the same you, with your signature charm and gentleness!
Do you remember ?- on the very first week we met, you sang a poem for me, “ There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly”.
I thought you just made it as I never heard it before and I was so fascinated, then you printed the lyrics for me- You were my first friend @ Vicon!!
Do you remember ? – Whenever I ran to you to get some urgent assemblies done for imminent shipments, you look @ me bit crossed- then with laugh always say “ Jake I will kill a bull for you!!”
On every occasion I took a tool from your possession – I always made sure I returned to you within the permitted time ( which my parents could never get me done ) as I know how much you value your work and your tools and I never wanted to make you unhappy with me ?
I believe from my tradition that you had a very fruitful life, you have seen a lot, loved and been loved by so many , you were active till the very end and now leaving a heap of cherished memories with us!!
Take rest Fran,( not sure as you would the key mender @ heaven now, you would be saying “ God, leave it with me, I will have a look “)
My thoughts are with Jay, Yvonne and her siblings.
PS: Why I am still expecting the “Orange Nissan Note “ coming to my window , waving at me to open the door for the assemblies you made while WFH. ”
