Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loved one. This enemy called death knows no bounds but soon even that will pass. Acts 24:15 reminds us, There is going to be a resurrection. We will surely see our loved ones again. Also, Psalm 36:9 tell us, With you is the source of life, by your light we can see light. God is the Creator of life, he gives life to all creatures, he is capable of restoring life to all who have died. Please stay safe always.

Dearest Francia, I have known you for as long as I have known myself. I am so blessed to have crossed life paths with you and even more blessed that God willed for you to have had such a special presence in my life as my god-sister, neighbour and friend. I will forever remember your buoyant cheer, humour, conviction and faith. The years that separated us were of no matter in how easily you related to me. God bless you for being a shining example of living faith to me. God bless you and Richard for being a fine inspiration of married life and family to me and I’m sure to so many others. You represented life for me–always. Still can’t believe I won’t be hearing your voice or be able to hug you again, but I will hold you in my heart always!

A Prayer from Providence Girls class of 1979 – 5G
Our Lord, you have called two special souls Francia and Richard home.
Father we will miss them dearly, so we especially ask that you enfold and comfort us all, especially their children Jacob and Joshua, their family and friends.
Fill the void in our hearts with peace and understanding. As we follow your guidance knowing that while they are now with you at your side, they will forever be in our hearts and souls.
Francia, our special 5G sister, your sweet welcoming smile always made our every school day one of completeness and calm. Thank you Francia.
Jacob and Joshua, know that the love and affection that your Mum and Dad have for you will always be part of your being. Amen
