Frances Fort Shaw

Frances was one of the best gifts my uncle, Ed Romieniec, ever gave me. Decades ago, when I first moved to New York, he introduced me to Frances and Ken. She immediately took me under her wing, escorting me around the city and teaching me to navigate the subway system from Manhattan to Brooklyn. We stayed in touch when I left the city, and to this day, my fondest memory of Frances is her giggle. She loved life. And she shared that love freely. I wish there were more Franceses in this world.

My memories of Frances Fort Shaw:
Gentle, thoughtful, giving but never asking for anything in return, great story teller, devoted, sweet smile with laughter & more. These are just a few memories of my great friend, neighbour and chosen family member FRANCES.

Frances was a wonderful presence for years here at Prospect Park. She will be missed by many.
