Frances Louise Bolton Ward

To my brothers Glen (wife: MJ) and Richard, my sisters, Sandra, Eva (Henry) Joyce and April (Scott), love, trust and be there for one another. Families that stick together, stay together.

Remember: Having someplace to go is Home, having someone to love is Family and having both is a Blessing.

To my extended family, I couldn’t have been more blessed than having married into the best family, Bill and Mary, Nona, Wilma and Wayne. You have always been there for us and I can’t tell you how much you are all appreciated. Love you all. A special thank you to Mary for coming with me to my treatments.

Dale, my loving husband for 42 years, you have been my rock all my life. I loved you from day one and always will. Wesley (Trish) and Tyler, you will always be with me forever. Our love will never change even though I am not with you in body, I will always be watching over you. Always take care of one another.

To all my nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews, I can’t begin to count how many you are. Your lives will go on, as will everyone’s, so enjoy your lives.

To my friends Gail and Henry, whom I’ve known since school age, I’ll definitely miss our camping trips. Which, we have done for years. Tell Dale not to quit going, I know he loves it. Keep coming for tea, we always enjoy the visit.

To my friend Tracy, who has helped me through this trying time, I’ll miss going to Tim’s with you. I also miss our car-pooling to work. What was it? At least 15 years, all our great talks and ambitions.

To all my many other friends, whom I was so lucky to be a part of their lives, I wish you all well and enjoy your life.

I hope you all enjoyed my message, all my love to you all.

Love Frances, Sfrance, Fanny, Fran, Narf, Aunty Fran and Granty Fran.
