Frannie was a wonderful lady. I have nothing but great memories of her and Tommy. I was once her neighbor as they sold me 5 acres of their 15 acres in Lacombe. I built a home and was her “next door” neighbor for 3 years. She was always pleasant and friendly, she will be missed. May she RIP. She’ll be with her beloved Tommy.

Aunt Francis my heart breaks knowing that I will never get to hear your voice or hug you again. I take solace in the fact that you and Uncle Tommy are reunited again. May you fly high with the angels and keep watch over all of us until we meet again. I love you to the moon and back, heart and soul!
