Carol Doucette Sincere condolences to Frances’s family. Frances was a beautiful lady who graciously shared the seats in front of the fireplace at Highgate with my mom. They were both quiet and small in stature and found their “warm” place by the fireplace. She always had a ready smile and a gracious manner for both of us when mom would arrive. Thinking of you all at this time. She will always be remembered.
uld have missed her dearly.

Roy Gilmour Auntie Fran had a warmth that always made us feel welcome. Her smile and laugh will always be remembered to all she knew. Both Uncle Ken and Auntie Fran were always one of my favorites to visit or have them visit us. My condolences go out to Glenn, who let me ride in his sports car, and Betty and Myrna, who introduced me to the Beatles. I know there is a very special place for your Mom.
Love always Roy
