Thanks, Fran.

She was a gift of a lifetime who continues to guide us. She literally
changed the direction of many of our lives as well as the direction of
nursing.

Love to all on this special day,
Elizabeth

> But for peace her soul was yearning,
> And now peace laps her round.

> Her cabined, ample spirit,
> It fluttered and failed for breath.
> Tonight it doth inherit
> The vasty hall of death.
