On behalf of Mom, Lora Smith, John,Leonard, Dave and Helen, Mary and Barry Thomson and families we extend our sincere thoughts of sympathy at the passing of your Mother. Frances will be remembered by Mom and happy times when they were younger.She was so excited when Frances called her on her 90th birthday. Mom is still home with John and Leonard but on oxygen so not really up to coming to a service. Your Mom crocheted lots of afghans for our Parkhills Women's Guild which went lovingly to the Ladies Shelter and Hospital. She will be missed. I met her at one of our suppers. Sincerely Mary Thomson
