I had the good fortune to have Frances as a patient when I was employed as an occupational therapist at Christopher East. She was an absolute delight! Always upbeat, funny, and genuinely interested in others. My sincere condolences to her family. She was one of a kind!

Frances was one of my Board members at Big Brothers in the 1980's. I helped her with her fund at the Community Foundation in the early 1990's. I was on staff at the Episcopal Church Home a few years back.
Frances was a very bright, generous and assertive woman that I admired. She was determined to walk again and was very diligent with her physical therapy. She never stopped trying.
I was fortunate to have known her in those admittedly limited capacities.
