We were saddened to learn of Francine's death, but grateful we were able to keep in touch with her in Montana the latter years of her life via e-mail. She was a lovely lady full of zest and exuding warmth for everyone. We first got to know her in Vancouver and have very fond memories. Our sincere condolences to Cala and the entire family. Francine was a sparkling gem!
