Jim, Sue and Cindy,
So very sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We always enjoyed the times when Aunt Fran was able to join us for whatever celebration. Like Kathy and Maureen my first thought was "How will I know when to start my Christmas cards?" Your Mom will be missed, but now you have a special angel to watch over you.
Love,
JoAnne and Bill

Jim, Sue, and Cindy our hearts go out to you and to your families.
I smiled warmly at Maureen's comments, for, recalling your Mom's wonderful card arriving...always the first one, as a harbringer of the Christmas season was also my first thought as I learned the sad news of her passing.
Aunt Fran is a very special soul; her hearty laugh and warmth of spirit always shone through. She will indeed be missed.
our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
