Dearest Aunty Fran,
We can only take solace in thinking that you have not gone away but are right here in our every thought.
Your smile, laughter, wit, strength, no-nonsense views on life, comforting words, soul restoring hugs are just a few of the myriad of things about you that have made us love you so much and which we will treasure forever.
Wherever you were, felt like home and this hasn’t changed. Although you aren’t here in person, we will always have a home, that we carry in our hearts, where we live in our most precious memories together.
Our love always Louise and Alex.

My dearest sister Frances will be missed for many reasons. Her courage, optimism, empathy. I hope our precious video & tel call moments bought comfort. Although achingly sad Frances prefered funny stories and news. Shrugging away my inability to even hold her hand. Calming my fears and refusing to dwell on tears of regret.Frances will forever remain in my life. Her voice, laughter and cheeky smile will give me strength. Heartfelt love Paula.

Aunty Fran, we have been lucky to have had you in our lives. I lack the words to express our sorrow, just that I will miss you terribly, our chats about anything and everything, watching with amusement as our respective husbands conversed in two languages, or just simply "helping" you with your crosswords. You will always be in our hearts. Morna & Miguel
