Frances was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, mother-in-law, and best friend. She made a house become a home. To many she was known as their “prayer warrior” because they knew they could call her and say “Fran, will you pray for, or help me pray for….” She was much loved and will be greatly missed.
Our family wants to say thank you and God bless to the doctors and nurses that attended our wife, mother, and grandmother when she was in Princeton’s ER and in the CICU. A special thank you goes to Dr. Jason Gamble who was with her and us during this time, and to Dr. David Sibley her cardiologist, and his staff for the many years of treating her. We thank God for giving you all the ability and desire to do the jobs you do.
