<i>I have heard, too, that it was Ron Howard and his children (or his son) who wanted to visit Ms. Bavier and she refused, saying "it was not a good time".
Perhaps she was ill. Or perhaps she didn't want her neighbours thinking "Opie" was visiting "Aunt Bee". Or maybe her house needed a good cleaning.</i> <b>The "good house cleaning" is what I thought of first, too. I hear she was a "cat lady" who had lots of cats, and they had destroyed her car with their mess, and I bet her house wasn't much better. Aunt Bee thought that cleanliness was next to Godliness, but maybe with Frances, cleanliness was next to impossible in her last years.
