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.
