We have lost a dear, sweet, kind, generous person who was a great friend to my mother since their friendship began in 1952. She opened her home to us when we visited a couple years ago and our visit was one I will always treasure. Hearing her laugh with us and share all of her memories of her family and friends was wonderful. I loved her letters and corresponding with her after our visit. I always hoped I would get to see her again.......
She will be truly missed by all those who were blessed enough to know her.
Until we meet again
Love, Julie

Frances was one of my mother's oldest and dearest friends and was a wonderful friend to my mother and to our family my entire life. She was a kind and generous soul, and I'm so sad to hear of her passing. Sending peace, love and light to all those who knew and loved her as we did. Rest in peace, dear Frances.

I am so sad to hear this news - Francis was a wonderful woman who I came to know through my morher. She was a true life long friend to her and became a dear person to me as well.
I loved that twinkle in her eye and that cute thing she did with her nose when she found something funny.
We enjoyed the lovely home she built and her stories but most of all watching her and my mother share memories and laugh together.
Rest In Peace dear Francis.
I will miss you xo
