She's a very kind Auntie. When I was little she would always find the time to write to me and I would respond back, so yes she has always been thought of in my heart. I will always remember her kind words and jester's to me. My thought,s and prayer's go to all family member's. Love and miss you.

I remember Frances as being the kindest person. Being there for everyone, even after she became ill. All those little things she said and did showed you what a great friend and relative she was. May she now rest in Peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. She is now in a better place joining all those that have gone before her. God Bless
