• My condolences to you Bob and to your family. It is such a huge loss when someone so loved is taken from us. I was away at the time of the celebration of Frances' life and unfortunately unable to attend. The high school and young adult years hold lots of fun memories with Frances for me.

• I have had the privilege of getting to know Frances through our nurse/patient relationship for the last 4 to 5 years in the Health Sciences Centre Rheumatology Day Hospital unit. Accompanied by her family always, Bob, Cheryl, and two little people often waited patiently for Frances to finish her treatment. I will remember Frances as a kind, compassionate, patient, loving individual always presenting as a fine, beautiful, and distinguished lady. Despite her daily struggles with pain and discomfort she always had a smile and a positive comment or encouragement for others around her. I offer my sincere condolences to Frances' family, loved ones and friends. Also to my colleagues in the Rheumatology department I offer my gratitude, thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of Frances. I am blessed to have known Frances and pray that she has found peace and freedom from pain for eternity. - Posted by: Sharon Bennett (Nurse/Friend) on: Mar 12, 2015

• I so sorry to hear of your loss, this goes out to the whole family. Frances has left many good memories that will be cherished and spoken of in many conversations. I myself have many cherished memories of the times Frances and I had in Poplarfield, going to the weekend dances and admiring her many new dresses that her mother so graciously always sewed for her. I will always cherish the times we had in high school, that's what makes friends. Bob I'm so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time as you grieve with your daughter and her family. Sorry I couldn't be there with your family, but my sister (Ann) sent me a card that was given at her final service. What a wonderful memory. - Posted by: Kathy Kidd (nee Pawlychyn) (Poplarfield High School years) on: Mar 11, 2015

• I was saddened and dismayed to learn of Frances' passing and was filled with a great sense of loss and grief. Frances was my high school buddy. I will always remember our walks from school to town to buy a drink or some sweets with good conversation and laughter. Frances is with the angels and her beloved parents. I will remember her sweetness, laughter and to always to see the bright side. I wish I could attend the service to celebrate the life of Frances, but I will be away. I hope that as the pain of her loss lessens, that the fog of grief that masks our cherished memories of her will be forever in our thoughts. Bob, so sorry for your loss. My heartfelt sympathy to all who knew and loved her. - Posted by: Kristine Palsson (Friend) on: Mar 04, 2015

Every time we saw her she talked about Jacob and Ethan; they were her pride and joy. She was a great wife, mother and a super grandmother. We will miss her. - Posted by: Julian & Miriam Blahey (Brother & Sister in Law) on: Mar 04, 2015
