I send my condolences to Francine's family and friends. I had a wonderful email and short but important phone relationship as well, beginning with our mutual passion for photography, art and the healing journey. Even though I never saw her in person I will miss her presence and am grateful for knowing her creative, truthful, brilliant self.

To my dear cousin Sam and family

Although we are far from you, our hearts, thoughts and prayers were always with Francine and you. She was a wonderful soul and her spirit will live forever in the hearts of everyone she touched.

Her struggle was only made easier by your love, compassion, total devotion and care for her.

We wish you our sincere condolences and apologize that we are unable to be with you at this time. May the family be sparred from further sorrow.

With all our love
Claudine & Serge Kay
