I Just now learned of this terrible loss.
Fran, always made me feel as if I were her own. A huge part of my childhood...and quite frankly the best part of my life, was due to her incredible love and care. I will never ever forget your beautiful ways...or what you've done for me, for so many years.
I love you , Mother Fran.♡

Dear Al and Patricia,
We are deeply saddened to hear the passing of your dear sister, Frances. She was a lovely lady and we adored her. We will always remember the time we went to her home in Bensenville to socialize and watch our kids play baseball in the backyard. We also remember soaking in their hot tub. That was so wonderful to be with everyone. May God give you comfort and blessing to you and family.
Love,
Phil, Pat and family
