Frances was not only my patient but she was my friend, and a second grandmother to me. Every moment I spent with her was precious to me. My one special memory of her will always be the way she would crinkle up her little face when she would laugh. That look was and always will be priceless. Frances always told me god did things for a reason but she couldn't figure out what the reason was for her being ill. I told her that had she not been ill I would have never had the opportunity to meet such a loving and wonderful person along with her family. There was a reason and that reason was to make my life more enriched and so much better. Frances gave me more that I could have ever given her. I also would like to say to the family that I thank you with all my heart for making me feel like such a part of your family. I hope that never changes. My prayers are with you.
