Frances was a wonderful person. I used to do her and Hallie's hair back in the mid 1980's when I worked at Edwards of Rossmoor. I am saddened to have just learned of her passing. My condolences to her children and entire family.

Frances helped me through a very difficult time with the perfect blend of compassion and a no-nonsense attitude. I will always be grateful. I wish I had gone to see her again over the years, even if just to say hello. I hope she knew how helpful she was.

My sadness is great knowing that my dearest therapist and cariegiver
is not here any more. She was a safe and honest haven for me. I was so blessed to have found her. She will be remembered every day I draw a breath. She is always in my heart. She fought such a brave battle, she was always a beacon of gumption and strength to me. Thank you dearest Frances. I love you.

Frankie was one of my favorite camp counsellors. She was fun and talented and encouraged me to advance my skills. I am so sorry for the big loss for all her family.
