Please accept our deepest sympathies. Frances was such a warm and beautiful person. We have fond memories of visiting and celebrating various occasions with her and her family. She was so kind, and will be sorely missed.
Dear ProvvIdenza family,
It is with great sadness in my heart that I write to offer my condolences
to all of you. There is no way to offer any comfort in such times of distress and tragedy. I just know that the depth of love and joy in your family that emanates from Frances will hold and sustain you through this despair. Her love, strength, resilience and practicality will guide you and you will hold her in your heart and mind forever. I will too. I am so very sorry you have to endure this loss so prematurely. Christine, Alastair, Annette, Sal and Charles, if I can do anything, please let me know. This huge hole cannot be filled, but managed by supporting each other. Knowing Frances, she will be there watching over you and making sure you are all doing what she would want you to do-everyday. She is free to be with each of you all the time now. She was a great woman, mother, friend and grandmother etc. and I am so sad she has gone, but glad she will not suffer or be incapacitated-we would not want that for her. She is part of you, as you are part of her-she gave us many gifts and may she Rest In Peace and feel our love as she buzzes around in a different form. With much love to you all and gratitude for knowing such a great person. Losing such a treasure is just not right.
Our hearts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Frances was a lovely person and I can only imagine how terribly she will be missed by those who were closest to her.
Our deepest condolences to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of sorrow.
