France a été une de mes premières collègues de travail à l'Université. Au fil des ans, nous avons collaboré sur tellement de projets que je ne saurais les compter. France va beaucoup me manquer, professionnellement et personnellement. Je garderai toujours un chaleureux souvenir de sa gentillesse. Elle était une personne formidable.

May our tears of sorrow become tears of joy in remembering France. The World is a lesser place without. Her.

France has been a mentor, a friend and cheerleader at many points in my life. She always spoke with pride and great affection of Charlotte, Sarah and Jerry. My heart breaks for each of you and the loss of such a beautiful soul way to soon. My life is better because I have known her. Grateful for the time I had but so very sad to say goodbye for now.

Her traditions and memories will remain with you forever. ❤️

Thinking of you during this most difficult time in your lives.

Sending you much love and hugs 🫂
