TIDINGS
Before he died, JB asked me to post a note in the Provincetown Independent to thank all those who did or offered to do anything for him or me while he was hospitalized: those who called, texted, visited, said prayers, sent cards or scratch tickets, watered or weeded his vegetable garden, hauled away old wood, gave flowers, brought him popsicles, got his boat blessed by the Bishop, or performed or offered to perform any other act of kindness. —With deepest gratitude, Frannie Coco [7-18]
