Dear cousins, so sorry for your profound loss.
I liked Frances' sense of humor which you are blessed to have inherited. I know Helen enjoyed having her down on the farm with all us kids running around getting into all sorts of mostly good mischief.
May she rest in peace reunited with George and Michael and that thought comfort you all.

Dear cousins and your families, my thoughts are with you all at the passing of Aunty Frances. Family was so important to her and she always loved to see her nieces and nephews and extended family members.
It is an end of an era now on the Stevenson side of her family.
Lots of love to you all.
