My thoughts are with all of Frances family, but especially her loving sister Reitta. Both of them lived in People Care, and shared in some activities; her sister will miss Frances company
May she and all of her family find comfort, knowing Frances is at rest.
Francis had a special joy. She had a quick wit and fun sense of humour. I loved caring for her at People Care. Her warmth and light will be missed. May God grant His peace to her friends and family.
