Frances will always be very special to me. She was a patient of the doctor I worked for and asked me to give her piano lessons. I did just that and we had a blast! She could always make me laugh. But oh how she loved Jesus! I moved away to north Florida and left my piano with her, happy to know she could enjoy playing it. I look forward to us making music together in Heaven one day.

I met Frances through her niece Yvonne Thomas and throughout those years we’ve had some wonderful times. She, Yvonne and myself had a memorable cruise and I’ll always remember her kindness. She welcomed everyone and was happy to share the fruits of her garden no matter how small. May her soul Rest In Peace….I’m sad for her family but I know that she’s not in any more pain or cares of this natural world. She has touched so many lives and those memories will keep her alive in our hearts. Glad to have known you Ms. Frances.
I met Frances back in Jamaica as Yvonne's aunt long before she emigrated to the United States. I knew her as a hardworking, kind hearted and fun loving person. I remember going to her back in NJ to get my hair done nearly every weekend. I still have a sheet set that she gave me one Christmas when I bought my first king size bedroom set. We shared some bad times along with many many good ones.
Even though I haven't seen her in a few years, I will certainly miss her. Only the good Lord knows best. She's at peace
and have joined the family and friends that went before her.
Rest in peace my friend.........
My heartfelt condolences to Frances' children and the entire family. We shared a lot of good times and laughter over meals and just talking. She loved her plants and gardening and always gave me pieces to grow. My son called her "grandma" and she was always concerned about my health. I will miss her laughter. Her love for the Lord was always evident and she enjoyed her church. I miss her but I know I will see her again.

Frances (Blossom) was not only my dearly beloved sister but was someone blessed with a personality that attracted the love and respect of those who knew her. Over the years we visited one another, she would come over to England and I would visit her in USA. My friend appreciated her love and humour and would always enquire about her on her departure.
Frances was a kind and loving person, among the things she loved gardening and playing games with us. She would help us to plant and take care of the plant in our allotment in the UK. In the last conversation I had with her she asked about how I was doing in the allotment. I will miss the fun she gave me as we played the game TRIOMINOS.
Frances was a devoted Christian. When she was driving us around (my husband Sam and I) she would always be playing Christian songs or listening to Christian messages. She also shared Christian songs for us to take back to the UK. I remember her reading her bible daily and putting her trust in Christ. During her recent sickness we communicated regularly and as things became more difficult, she expressed the desire to go to rest in Jesus.
April 2019 was the last time we had face to face contact when we met up in Barbados where we had a memorable holiday. Through all the challenges of life Frances remained strong and in the words of the Apostle Paul we can say, she finished the race, she has kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for her the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to her on that Day, and not to her only but also to all those who put their trust in Him and have loved His appearing.
Frances sleeps until that day when all those who kept the faith of Jesus shall hear His voice and arise from the dead with glorious bodies to be with Christ forever. Sam and I will miss her dearly. Rest in peace until we meet with Jesus where there will be eternal joy.
