I had the pleasure of getting to know Frances the past 6 months as she hired me to help her. I can't tell you how humbled I was at her strength and an open heart. She always gave me an "I love you" at every visit I checked in with her. Her care team also fell in love with Frances. I was honored to serve her in her last days. I will forever remember her.

Fran was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I remember seeing her and Bruno at mass at St. Lucy and the two of them always had a smile to share when they were out on their walks through the neighborhood. She was kind enough to attend a welcome home party for my son after he returned from Marine Corps Bootcamp. She will be missed by many. May God rest her soul.

Our neighbor Fran was always caring for the trees in front of her house and we would chat in their shade. So In loving memory of Fran we have donated trees to be planted in her memory in her home states of Pennsylvania and California. We will miss you and may you and Bruno rest together in peace. Love, The MacWilliamson Family
