Frances Lawlor

Wonderful memories! Wonderful family! Miss you all...

My mom was a presence she engaged with everyone . She was a natural teacher and was generous with her knowledge

I´ve known and loved Franny since I was 9 years old. She wasn´t Franny to me until the last decade or so. She was Mrs. Lawlor. The lady who was 30 years old with 6 kids and a gorgeous figure. She taught me many things, how to make a proper bed, how to be thoughtful, how to be kind and care for others. We spent many hours together chatting about my childhood. But most of all I loved her stories growing up in Italy. It allowed me to dream. I love you Franny. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life.

Franchesca! Miss you grandma.

This was an amazing moment. Patty, mom, and I were on the roof of the Casa Milà in Barcelona, exploring this utterly unique location. Mom was like a child-full of life and so happy!
