What happened to Franny laying on the couch

Sometimes I wonder what happened to Franny Glass laying there on the couch in the old sprawling 

Manhattan apartment, and what happen to the painters that same late morning, and did those painters 

 ever get 

their work done of sprucing  up the walls of the Manhattan apartment that Bessie and Les Glass rented

 so so long ago. Franny was a lovely girl. I remember she would mumble incessantly as she said the

 pilgrims prayer over and over laying on the couch with a heating pad and a small book clutched 

tightly 

into her prayer folded hands. Franny reminded me a bit of W. Glass her older brother, a twin who

died  years ago. W glass' eyes would tear up if someone said it looked like rain according to Bessie.
