"If my voice breaks tonight," Dean said, " please bear with me. I got some incredibly bad news just a few hours ago. My cousin, Frankie Frame Winthrop, has been murdered."
Gasps and murmurs from the audience.
Dean went on, "I was, as she once told her husband Cass, the worst brat she ever babysat."
Jenna wiped her eyes.
"I'm going on with tonight's performance because that's what Frankie would want me to do."
"Frankie," Dean said, "this first song is for you."
The audience listened quietly as Dean sang (Everything I Do) I Do it for You.
