Farewell Frank McCourt, Thank you


I heard some sad news today about one of my favorite authors, Frank McCourt. He apparently is under the care of Hospice and not going to last on this earth for much longer. His book Angela’s Ashes was a great read for me and many others. Frank’s story telling is legendary. The illness he has is meningitis and skin cancer something I have had to deal with twice myself now. If anyone has overcome some major hard times it is McCourt. I wish for some peace for this wonderful writer and thanks for wonderful hours reading his stories.

I too have enjoyed reading Anglea's Ashes and it is indeed sad to hear about his ill health.

Sarah and I listened to him read Angela's Ashes on a trip to NH.
What a great book. We kept rooting for the dad to make it home with his paycheck just once, but it was not to be.
