I did not know your mom, but reading through the memories, she sounded like a super lady. Wish I would have met her. I did see your dad once when he played at the Grand Hotel in Bridgeport, Ontario. I am daughter to Estelle who's mom was Mae Noel who was sister to your grandmother Lily. So cousin far removed. My condolences to you and yours.

Denise I will gather the beautiful pieces your mom had gifted me over the years. They are with my Christmas decorations and I'll take a picture of them soon and submit them. Frances was not only gifted with the paint brush, she was talented in so many other creative ways!  Throughout our grade school days she would entertain us with her tap dancing skills, some of it was self-taught; she was a natural comedienne...she could do any impressions and imitate a dialect of many different languages; she could sing without inhibition; she was very athletic; she was also a great dancer of rock and roll and pop music...she was the one who taught us the dance steps of the popular dances of the 50s and 60s--the Stroll, the Mashed Potatoes, the Watusi, the Pony, the Hully Gully; she could do hair like a professional hairstylist; she could beat the crap out of bullies (lol) she wasn't intimidated by anyone; she was a hilarious storyteller and could memorize poems and any of the historical dates in history & any of the assignments the teachers gave us to memorize. The list goes on...anyone who knew your mother and who may be reading this, would be smiling or laughing right now in remembrance of her extraordinary talents.  We didn't hangout too much in high school or afterwards, but our friendship never failed.  We shared our innermost feelings with each other. I know your mom's greatest talent was being a loving wife and mother and grandmother. Her family was her greatest achievement and I know how much she loved her children. She was so proud of you and Jared!  Every time we spoke on the phone, or we visited in person, she gave me a full update on what was going on with her grandkids. Her heart was full of love and joy for her family!
Rest in peace Franny girl. I know you are somewhere gleefully entertaining everyone in the Spirit world with your liveliness, spunk, grit, fearlessness and good humour!  Until we meet again...   ♥️♥️♥️

My thoughts are with you Uncle Bob, Jared and Denise. Thank you for sharing these beautiful words and memories, I most certainly remember Aunt Fran as a smiling, warm, generous, loving and lovely woman who did indeed light up a room with her radiant energy and heart. I send all of my love to you as you walk through life in her absence. Deepest condolences 🤍
