    Our condolences to Aunt Francis’s family. Sad to hear of Aunt Francis passing. We have many, many, many very fond memories of Aunt Francis. We were so excited when we saw Uncle stand’s boat coming into Robert’s Arm harbour. Time and memories will ease the pain of your loss. God bless you all. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

    My heart goes out to the family on the passing of your beautiful Mom Frances. I met your Mom in 2015 in the hospital in Clarenville. My Mom had a bed directly across from your Mom. I believe that Betty-Lou was there quite often. Thinking of you all . I will never forget your Mom’s beautiful smile. Very infectious.
