Sending love to your family during this difficult time, Mary Ann. I’m so thankful she was part of our life 33 years ago when she took care of Rob. I’m glad you had her for so many years and your boys had Granny Franny in their lives. It was a blessing that you, Bob and the boys were able to offer your consistent help to her as she aged. It’s never easy to lose a parent but may you find peace in your lifetime of memories. With love, Bob, Ingrid, Ron and Randy

My very deepest sympathy to you Mary Ann and your entire family. I knew Frances through St. Anne’s and it is a loss that is too great for words.
All my love and continual prayers to you.

Frances was a wonderful Mother and Grandmother and a friend to all who knew her. We were neighbors for a time in Plainfield, Illinois and she was a fun and positive person to be around. She gifted me with not only her friendship but many of her handmade items such as a lovely macramé plant holder, crocheted potholders, and Christmas ornaments that still hang on my tree each year. I am happy for Frances and her family that she was blessed with a wonderful 97 years of life and want to extend our deepest sympathy to you all for her loss. May she rest in Peace.
