So many had a special place in her very loving and enormous heart.
Family is about the people in your life who want you to be in theirs. If you are reminiscing about the best pies ever, home cooked food at the farm, stepping stones, personalized pillows, cloth carrying bags or colourful scarves that came to you from Frances’ hand, then you too are her family.
Frances’ last words and wishes, were that of love. She requested those she had loved go out into the world and spread love; this is a reflection of her lifetime of dedication and love to her family.
