I loved working with Frances at Chippenham. I could just look at her and laugh! For her children, your mother was not only one of the best nurses I have ever worked with but she had the best heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Suzanne

Since hearing of Frankies passing my dad has repeated many stories I have heard before :) He and my mom both loved her dearly. I'm sure your family has many wonderful memories. We will keep you in our prayers.

Francis was the one person who could make me laugh and also help me do the right thing in the midst of sometimes utter chaos where we worked together as nurses. Joan Graham

To Donna,Beth,Todd,and especially Scott,
I have many special memories of your mother over the last 28 years. I lost touch with her for awhile, but always stayed in touch at Christmas and birthdays. The last years of her life she attended The Christian Women's Club with my mother, myself and a lof of other friends. Your mom will always be special to me as will all of you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. God Bless.

What a SPECIAL LADY ! She was so warm and compassionate, and what a special sense of humor and wit. I will miss her so much but cherish the memories I have of her. Was in her Ladies Bible Study and a friend of Todd's. May God comfort and bless each of you, you were so fortunate to have such a dear Mom. Carolyn Lawson

Donna, Scottie, Todd and Beth: You know your mother was like my daughter rather than a sister. I cannot comprehend that she is gone. I will miss her so very much. I am sorry I am unable to be there with you at this time, but just can't ride that far. I love all of you and will be thinking of you. Aunt Marge

To all my cousins: I don't really know what to say. You know Frankie was just like my sister, growing up together in the same house and room. I couldn't have loved her any more if she had been. I am so sorry I can't be there with you but it just isn't possible. My heart will be with you tonight and tomorrow. I will miss her phone calls and visits very much. She was a very special aunt and no one can ever take her place. Love, Kaye

I was so shocked to hear about Francis. I was in her "Bible Study Group". We called her "Madam President". She was so loved and we enjoyed hearing about all her adventures. Bible Study will miss her greatly. Sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful lady and very caring for others. God be with you in this time for great loss.
