I learned so much from Frances working with her at Brent Marine Supply Co. during the 1990s. Not only about efficient and professional business keeping practices, but she taught me about character, respect and kindness by her profound example.
She was extremely devoted to her family and loved going to the lake house on weekends where they played cards and made the most of what is now rare in our society, "family time." When her brother-in-law became ill, she kept the yard mowing, blowing, and trimming hedges. I still don´t know how she did everything she did and did it all so well. She will remain a treasured friend even in her passing.
