Let me extend my sense of loss and condolences to all who knew the wonderful woman that was my grandmother. She was truly a woman who lived on her own terms. I regret being unable to attend either the wake or the funeral but I send my best wishes from afar.
In service,

My thoughts are with you. I can say she was a wonderful woman because I know you, and she shows through you. I wish you peace.

Virginia, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Having read your mother's notice I've learned that she was an amazing, knowledgeable, adventurous and kind person. You must have enjoyed her and I know you took good care of her.

Dear Virginia,
I just found out about your mom. From what you told me she was an incredible woman. No wonder you are as strong, kind, and giving as you are. You were very fortunate to have her for a mom and she was very fortunate to have you as a daughter.

Francis was a wonderful woman - who welcomed me into the congregation at Quincy Community United Methodist Church when I moved here from Michigan. She will be sorely missed. Your family is in our prayers as you mourn the loss of a wonderful person

Virginia,
Your Mom was a truly grand lady. It was my pleasure to know her and enjoy her company & conversation - on the many occasions we got together. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Leah

I will always remember having holiday dinners with Aunt Frances, Uncle Robert, Virginia, Martha and Bob. Big,delicious meals were shared by all. Aunt Frances made me feel comfortable there at her home and I remember many fun sleep overs and a trip to Maine with her family. It was a special treat for an only child to have cousins and an aunt and uncle who welcomed me on holidays and vacations. I will remember Aunt Frances sitting in the living room after dinner working on her hooked rug. It took years, but she finally completed it. Aunt Frances had many talents in cooking and sewing and many strong skills in science and math. She was well read and could definitely back up her opinions!
I particularly remember her generosity to me when I got married and she expertly altered my wedding gown.
We will all miss her but will be inspired by her long and full life.
her neice,
Donna Blair Morrison
