Francis was a dear friend of mine many moons ago. We lost touch and I oftened wondered where she was and what she was doing. I was saddened at the thought of her death but warmed by so many fond memories. May she rest in peace and may her family be comforted by the many thoughts and prayers of those who loved her. She was truly a blessing to all she met and I know that I am a better person because of her.
