My deepest sympathy to Steve and family. Francine was such a vibrant person! She was happy, friendly, always thinking and fun to be around. So sorry for your loss.
Francine’s Mom was our Girl Scout leader and her Dad would kindly pick us up from HHS everyday. If we missed the morning bus we would trudge up the Essex St. hill to HHS talking and laughing the whole way. It was so nice to reconnect after all these years at the reunions.
She will be sadly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with her family. God bless.

My deepest condolences to family & friends. My heartfelt words are slight but I just want to share how nice it has been to be a Facebook friend of Francine's. We are from the same hometown & have shared our enjoyment of the great outdoors with our photos over the years. It grieves me when the Lord takes a loved one & off they go with the angels to be with God. Francine was a beautiful person & now is a beautiful soul. I will miss her!
Prayers & Love, Nancy
