My dear friend of over 60 years, Sister Frances. You were my teacher all through high school at St. Frances De Sales, and you became my lifelong true friend. When I studied as a Postulant at School Sisters of Notre Dame, you were there for me. Throughout my life, you were an important part of everything I did. Your love, your dedication to Our Lord and your lessons of giving to others with all your heart will never be forgotten by me and so many others.
I was Noraso blessed to share our last Mass together at the Veronica House. We prayed together, and shared so many happy memories. Just as your words to me, ” Where your heart is, There is your Treasure. Share it.” And so I have and will continue to share Our Lord with everyone. I am sure I will see you again when it is time. All my love to you, my good and faithful friend, Always.
Sr. Frances had a very significant influence in my sisters life, who is now deceased. She was a good and faithful friend to her and our whole family. Deepest sympathies to her family.
I encountered Sister Frances on my journey to the Catholic faith, when I was a teenager. I reconnected with Sister Frances after I reconnected with the Church. Pray for me, Sister.
After not seeing Francis for 65 years I happened to locate her. I called her and we spoke for a long time. What a lively person. However, my primary memory of Francis is from my time as a teenager in Bartelso IL. Francis would use her dads cattle truck to take many of the kids from Bartelso to Jansens resort to swim. We all loved it and we learned to swim. RIP
So very sorry to hear of sister Francis’s passing, I knew her from SPRINGFIELD mo. So sorry I didn’t contact her earlier. My wife Dorothy passes on Jan 12, 2025 in CORALVILLE IA.
