Personal Life & Family

The shock of Fiddle's passing still resounds in my heart today a year later, as I know it will for the rest of my life. During the years of our early friendship, we shared many fun evenings at the theatre or concerts and delicious meals at various eateries around town. One fun evening in an Italian restaurant that we visited so long ago on her special birthday in December is especially memorable. It was late after an evening when we had enjoyed a good play in the theatre district and were surprised that a place was still serving. We ordered drinks and I mentioned that it was my friend's birthday and wanted something special, and the waiter went viral congratulating her and inviting her to have whatever she wanted ...as much as she could eat. I don't need to go into details... but let's just say our Lady of The Frogs seized the moment. They kept bringing out plate after plate. I was amazed and YES we did leave with a doggie bag while the staff sang "Happy Birthday" OMG Only in New York Sadly those golden days faded away as I became very busy, so we stayed in touch and as the whips and scorns of time took their toll on our health our visits were restricted to Emails and phone calls. The one thing I remember about Fiddle was her unique passion for life even while so bravely surmounting the terrible medical obstacles she endured. I now fill the vacancy she left in my life with the remembrance of that passion. I'm so sure she's in a Special Place now. God Bless !! Drew Eliot May 19, 2019

Fiddle was an absolute gem of a human. I did a production of Mame in 95 at the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia when I was 9 years old and boy, she takes up the majority of my memories from that place and time. If you ever want stories let me know.
