<p>My great Aunt Frances was a remarkable woman in many ways.</p><p>First and foremost she valued "family", touching each of our lives in many unique ways.</p><p>She had a very generous heart, sharing her talents that enabled her family to form wonderful<br>memories with not only her and my Uncle Tony, but also with each other – our extended<br>family.</p><p>I will always remember the fabulous veal spiedini that she often cooked and will cherish the<br>sweater that she knitted for my daughter. To quote my cousin Anthony, she<br>was "a master in domestic arts".</p><p> Along with family, my Aunt Frances valued her relationship with our Lord. The hand of the Lord touched her life through both trials and celebrations. She was always praying for people. I personally will never forget the prayers that she offered up for my daughter and the compassionate ear that she lent during difficult times.</p><p> Although Aunt Frances left this earth, her presence will still be here – only it will be in our hearts and memories.</p>
