I am saddened to hear about the loss of Frances. She was such a lovely lady and so kind. My mother Doris Sanchez love her so much. No they will sing and dance in the skylight of the heavens above.

Frances was an amazing woman and a fantastic cook. I will think of her often when I open her little red cook book. I have shared her recipes many times over. Our prayers to you all.

My deepest sympathy for the family. I met Frances when she was caring for my neighbor. I was pleasantly surprised to see her again when my mother moved into Belcaro. She will be missed.
