Frances was such a caring spirt, pure of heart and full of God's love. She always remembered me when I was going through bad times letting me know that I wasn't alone in what I was going through. She loved her family so much and touched the community through her gift of words. Frances, thank you for caring and being a part of my life.

Grandma, you were always the strong one.The one that kept all of us together,no matter how mad we got or what we did, you still loved us.No mater how much pain you were in, you took it like a champion. And now you are no longer in pain, you are with the love of your life and your baby boy,my dad,Michael.I am going to miss all the morning calls we shared.I will always remember the trips we took up north to go fishing,going to Crandon, to visit relatives in Elcho,and the trips to Waupca,the place you loved loved so much.We morn you now and remember you alsways than we will have to go on with life like you would want us too.And I promise you, Grandma,before God, that I will take care of your three Little Angels, Gunnar, Rebecca, and little Emma. And when Emma is old enough,I will tell her all about you and what a wonderful grandmother you were.There never be another wonderful Grandmother like you. We love you, Grandma, Forever.
