Walter, Erika, Colin, and Family;
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all, as they have been ever since Frances' illness began. May all the wonderful memories you shared together as a family comfort you.
Poem:
When you speak of her speak not with tears
for thoughts of her should not be sad.
Let memories of the times you shared
give you comfort
for her life was rich because of you.
And though for now you had to part,
though to part she did not choose;
she'll be with you along life's path,
Forever In Your Heart.
