My cousin was truly a special person. She would stick by you know matter if you were wrong or right just beause she loved you and you were family. When we were kids her and her family took me in and she always made me feel apart of her family. There were times in our lives when all we had were each other and we got each other through it. She will be missed dearly but never forgotten.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope your memories will be a source of comfort during this difficult time. Also know that soon God will remove death and suffering from our lives. "And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more...nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)

No words can express how much i will miss my dear sister Frances. She was a person that everyone loved to be around, and although her time here was short it was spent with people that loved her sooo much. She will never be truly gone as she will be there for all of us every single day. She will help us through the rough times in our life, and she will be right there with you on your best days. She will see each and everyone her her daughters and son get married, and she will be there for support when the day comes for them to start a family. No matter how much it hurts, we all need to know that she is in a better place and will live forever with our Heavenly Father. I love you sister and will miss you like you dont even know......

Panchita came into my life at the age of 18 months old. I always considered her my oldest daughter. She no longer is suffering in pain in a tired body, but living with God as our Guardian Angel watching over us. Frances was a blessing in my life and I will miss her dearly, however we have not lost all of her, we have a piece of her in everyone of her precious little children.
I love you Baby Girl

My heart goes to all my cousins and family that are missing her. Her girls especially. She was truly a fighter and did not give up. I will always remember the great times that we spent together as kids in the summer singing and dancing. She is resting in peace with Nana Mary and her Tia Joise. I will always love you Panchita!

Frances had determination and a fight that all should envy. She touched my family in ways she has no idea. I thank her for all her selfless decisions and praise her for her strength. I pray for all that are missing her. We were fortunate to spend some of her last moments with her and I asked her to be a guardian angel for all of us! Bless you, Frances… We love you…

My thoughts & prayers are with the family.
I met Frances in elementary school & we went to separate jr. highs & drifted apart. I saw her when we were teenagers & we talked and remembered eachother as kids, then went our separate ways again. The next time I saw her, she was a mommy & as the story goes, we parted ways. I'm sad to know that this is the last time I've come across her. I just saw her from time to time & always remembered her, I can only imagine the impact she made on the people that were closest to her. May she now rest in eternal peace!! Until the next time I see you girl.
