Grandma, Anthony and I got married Friday, thank you so much for being with us. Your presence was so needed and appreciated and I know that you would be so proud. Tito was able to be there in person for you both. We miss you and love you... and hope that you have a big glass of wine toasting with us up there with all of your family. I hope that you are enjoying your time with your loved ones.

Frances was one of my dearest friends for 55 years and although we were separated for a good portion of that time, when we got together we picked up right where we left off. She was a beautiful and caring woman and I will miss her until we meet again. We shared so many wonderful memories, making enchiladas, learning to make English toffee, etc. but also shared much laughter & tears. I was so blessed to have her in my life. My heart goes out to Tito and her beautiful family. Love to all of you, Bev

To my Dear Aunt Frances, this world has lost an angel. Your loving heart and soul have left us for a better place. I will never forget your warm loving smile. Even when you weren't feeling well, you smiled and always made everyone feel welcome in your home and in your company. God blessed our family for many years with you in it, I am blessed to have known you and to have been part of your family. I will always regret that I didn't take you up on your invitation to come over and learn to make your famous toffee. We will miss you so very much. I take comfort in knowing that you were met by so many that had gone on ahead of you, and were welcomed and embraced with love and light. To my Uncle Tito, I love you so much and I am so sorry for your loss. You have your loving family surrounding you, and I know they will not leave your side. To my cousins, I love you, and I am so touched by the support you lend to one another. Your Mother left such a precious legacy in all of you to carry on for her. God be with you all. I pray for your comfort and for peace during this difficult time. Be there for one another, and keep her memory alive. It is through all of you that we will be able to continue to feel her love and warmth. God Bless you.

What a lovely woman, neighbor, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. I used to enjoy walking out the front door and looking across the street to her lovely yard. Frances could take a small clipping and turn it into an amazing plant. As I look through the pictures of her life, I notice she always had the same beautiful smile on her face. Hers was a life well lived. We shall all be so blessed.

Frances always had great stories to share. We always liked hearing about when she was a child living on the farm...her connection with the plants and the earth came out through her consistent and hard work in creating her lovely garden. We will miss her loving, her caring and her conversation. Our love to Tito and the family.

Our hearts go out to the family. Frances was such a loving person. She was the first one to welcome us to the neighborhood when we first moved in, and was always so loving to us and our children. We'll miss seeing her smiling face.
