Dear uncle Billy, Terence, Heather and Mandy This little passage was on the card you sent me when my mum passed. I thought it says it all. Her Journey's Just Begun Don't think of her as gone away her journey's just begun, life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think of how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much. thinking of you all.

My sincere condolences to the Simpson family. I worked as a nurse in Rosehall when Frances first joined us at MGM and quickly grew fond of both her and Bill. Bill had so much love for Frances and it showed.. everyday. I loved meeting and getting to know you both. May you rest in sweetest peace Frances.
