Memories
So sorry to hear of Frances' passing. My memories of cousin Frances was that she was a caring, sweet bundle of energy with a beautiful smile. I have fond memories of her flying around Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Frank's kitchen, always lending a much needed hand at holiday gatherings. My sympathy to Francie, Kevin and Sean on her passing.
