I am so very sorry to learn of Frances' death. She was a wonderful friend during our summers in a house full of girls on Cape Cod. She was such fun and I will always remember her that way. My condolences to you Jim and your children.

Dear Jim, Patrick, Caroline, Ryan and Robert,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. It seems like just yesterday we would see Frances running down Highland Street enjoying the morning solitude. In time we hope that your sadness and loss will be replaced by many wonderful warm memories. With deepest sympathy,

Where She Loved
You will hear her
Where she loved
You will see her
At the above
Like her favorite spot to sit and read
She will tell you all you need
And there is her favorite chair
She’ll be sure to meet you there
And when you’re feeling most alone
She will meet you right at home
Be silent and listen
And you will hear
Her telling you not to fear
You will meet again she’ll say
Just maybe not right away
So you should keep on going
Because...

To the Dowd Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Francis's passing. I was a tennis friend at Longfellow in Wayland. She played a serious, no-nonsense game. I will never forget her serve as she had to bounce the ball at least 20 times before she was ready. She will live forever in my mind and we all loved her.
God Bless you all
