Synopsis
Fran Cooper entered a Memory Care Unit after years of at-home care. The change was heartwrenching for her family. But Fran found a new home, with new friends, a new pastor and ample time to sing and pray. Her son, Ron, chronicles a year in his mother’s life in an Alzheimer’s unit where she:
- ·Gave him good advice on the eve of his wedding
- ·Exchanged sweet love letters with her husband of 60 years
- ·Serenaded the entire nursing home (Fran: “If you don’t use music, you lose music.”)
- ·Expressed her faith with heartfelt prayers (“My name is Fran and I’m a child of God.”)
It’s simply not true that Alzheimer’s steals everything. Fran’s mind still pondered the wonders of life. Her heart still loved intensely. Her spirit still worshiped and prayed. And her urge to sing was stronger than ever.
Welcome to “Fran’s Song.” You’ll never see Alzheimer’s or nursing homes in the same way.

About the Author
Ron Cooper, a newspaper journalist for 25 years, turned to full-time freelance editing and writing in 1997.
