I met Frances at Conestoga View while visiting my mother.  She was so sweet. She would tell me she loved me and kiss my cheek and hold my hand. I loved her too. I send my condolences and prayers for the family.

We will miss her and her positive outlook on life and strong Faith in Jesus. We loved our enduring friendship all these year. Especially remembering all the laughs we had at the antique shop with Mom, Carlos and Mary. So happy for her that she gets to meet Jesus. I can just picture it, her on her knees and hands together. Dios Te Bendiga! Hugs
