It's been my pleeasure to have known Frances for the last six years. I enjoyed talking with her about nature, birds, animals and plants. I will remember her telling me about when she was growing up spending summers in Vermont, when she was a teenager she learned how to fly a plan, her cats and her sister's dogs and her travels. Frances was such a nice lady with a great wit.
Bless you Frances.
