It has been 9 years and that is impossible to believe
We all miss you so much there is a void without your smiling face, holiday get togethers and the times we had on Wachusett and Bridge St
There is a little white butterfly that is around me and I know it is you watching over all of your family
Love you always
October 4, 2016
Nine years and still not a day goes by I don't think of you. Things all around remind me of you, it still hurts, I miss hearing your voice and just talking.

There are no words to describe the empty spot in my heart for you and all the times we shared. You were the sister I never had and without you there is a light that has gone out. We all miss you every single day. Pray for us.
Love

Thanksgiving has past and I always think of you and our families getting together. This year I did not have dessert for the family everyone was busy and my house is in such transition. God I miss those days with you and our Scrabble competition and the double desserts I would make. Wish I had a time machine.
Miss and love you Fran

Francine,
Still think of you often and know you're looking down on everyone. I still think of all the fun times everyone had together. Playing basketball on Wachusett St, going for walks on the beach house, swimming in the pool at Bridge St. You were a truly special person and I will never forget the good times we shared.

You are so missed by my family and of course me..
I have tried so hard to get over your not being with us and the holidays are the hardest..Yes even the 4th of July. I miss all the family getting together and sharing good times and tough times as well. But it is the good times that our memories hold dear.

Another Sunday and although it's Easter, I still like to read all your postings. Fran, I don't know anyone whose "guest book" has continued as long as yours!! I see the references to the "butterflies" and I know they feel your presence!!! Your spirit will live forever through them because of what you instilled in them while on earth. Good job Fran!!!! You raised them well!!!

Always at this time of year I think of all the past Thanksgiving dinners and all of our the memories that went with them. The times with my parents, your parents and of course the whole family Jay, Shannon, Tony, Colleen, Kate and Caitlin Adam and Andrew, Jay N, Dave and Chris.The very early Thanksgiving dinners with Liz,Frankie, Pam and Mary and my mom and Dad. Now we are lucky to have Sam and Ben, the light of all of our lives and so very much like you.. I sound like such a broken record but I miss you Fran and with the holidays coming up, I just wish you were here with us all! Hope my turkey comes out as good as yours always did..
Love you

Life goes on and it has some of it good some of it not so good. When you were here it was alway easier to get through the tough times because of the love you had for us all.
Four years have gone by way too fast and there is not a day that I do not think of you and how much I and my family miss you.
Your grandchildren are beautiful, smart, loving and they are all so much like you!
I will be lighting a candle for you at the Shrine on Tuesday with love for you..

Feel a little lost lately and miss being able to sit with you over a cup of tea or coffee "just to talk". I know you are around us all but I miss you so and the moments we shared. Pray for us especially Jay, he needs a Guardian Angel.
Love you

Miss you and sharing your grandaughters special moments these past few weeks. Caitlin has had such a good time the Prom, graduation and now her 18th birthday. I remember that day we were all cramped in Shannons room and we had to tell you to go to Grams...
So many memories and good times
Thinking of you always

She looked beautiful and I know you were there because there were butterflys all around and her face was just so happy...Cannot believe 4 years have passed since she graduated from St. Michaels and you and I watched her walk up to get her grammar school diploma. Well now she is a HS senior at the prom and heading to college..
Miss sharing this with you so very much.
You are always in my heart

Happy Mothers Day Fran,
You would be so proud of Colleen,s accomplishment, and you would love those beautiful grandchildren. I miss you so, wish I could talk to you. I know your children miss you so much, and I feel so sad that they do not have you in their lives. All who love you think of you still each day, and have that empty feeling in our hearts.
Love
Your sister,
Pam

To the person who put this wonderful entry in about my mother - you and anyone who wishes can write on her guestbook anytime!!! We know that she is missed so much by us but also her friends and coworkes. Thank you so much for still thinking of our mother!!!!
March 13, 2011
One of my favorite things to do on a Sunday afternoon is to sit back and read all your entries. 242 to date!!! I often think about you and your kind spirit. You made a difference in my life just working with you. Your co workers miss you and are better at their jobs because of you. For some reason, when I see butterflies, you come to mind. You'll ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. I hope your family doesn't mind me putting in an entry. My prayers are with them as well.

I don't know what to do sometimes. I go back and think about when we would sit and talk and ask your advise. It makes me so happy cause I feel your presence with me. Love and think of you always.

Your children put it very nicely, it seems like you and Neil just left us..and that all the children were small and making us homemade Mothers Day cards. We are all getting a little stronger through all the wonderful memories we have al shared...
Sammy, Ben, and Little Anthony , you have the beginning of a baseball team !
Caitlin, well there are no words to describe her except she is a caring, loving and a very hard working girl and she has made you very proud.
Love you Fran and miss you and Neil a lot especially during that last few years....
Watch over us!
With much love

Another grandson is here and he is perfect and it makes me so sad that you arent here to enjoy Ben and Sam - you would be so in love with them as you were with Caitlin and Anthony. I miss you endlessly and am still forever heartbroken that you are gone. I love you so much!
April 26, 2010
I wish you were here.. You could make everything better... I love you so much...
March 28, 2010
I have been thinking about you so much lately. I miss you so much. I miss just talking to you about random things. I love you, Gram.
Love Caitlin
March 25, 2010
Fran,
You never leave my thoughts, and I have missed you so deeply. The good things and the not so good things that go on day after day have less meaning without you. I went to call you the other day, just to talk about something only you and I could talk about, only you and I were there - and the sadness was overwhelming. I love and miss you so
Your Sister

Thinking of you with fond memories of Spring and Easters past...All the flowers and shrubs that we wanted to plant at your house. But this spring brings a brother for Sam (who would be the apple of your eye) and we are all anticipating with love Ben's arrival.
It is just a fact of life that I and my family will miss you forever..
But we know you are our guardian angel and God knows we need one
Love you

Fran,
Just when i think I am living with the grief it hits me that I am not doing a very good job of it. Ma gave me a letter I had written to you in 1968, and it brought back such memories, most of all how much I loved you, how much you meant to me. I wish it was two years ago and I could sit by your bed and hold your hand just one more time, I would give anything for that moment.
Love
Your Sister pam
September 15, 2009
Its been a while since I have been on here - I cannot believe it is going to be 2 years since I have seen you or talked to you. I would give anything to have you back. I miss you everyday but I know you are watching over us. I love you Ma.
