    I have known Frances for over 50 years and have always admired her. She was such a good friend! Always cheerful even in these last years when many would have given up ! But she kept giving to others. She was always talented and made beautiful things , even when most of us would have thought she would not be able to, she was making hats for people she didn’t know! She was an inspiration to us all.
