We are going to miss our Xmas catch ups with you Francis. Your banter ,humor and company. Sandra said her greatest memory of you was your facial expressions when it came to shot time, Especially on the ones she didn't like. If the face didn't give it away, The plants over her shoulder got it. Hilarious... RIP...... You will be missed. Sandra and Rob.
Dear Frances, Alex and I were saddened to hear of your passing but took a lot of comfort from knowing you were accompanied on that final journey by having family there holding your hands. No Doubt you are now sitting in a comfy deckchair somewhere instructing Gary to pour you a glass of wine if he knows what's good for him! Thank you for all the good times spent together and we are sorry not to be there to celebrate your life with all family members. Rest peacefully Frances, with much love Tania, Alex, Megan and Andrew.
Thinking of you all at this time ,condolences to all the Families. A great lady. Pete Helm
Thinking of you all at this sad time, sorry unable to be with you all on Wednesday. Love cousin Jacqui and Lionel
It was very sad to read of the passing of Frances. I meet Frances at Cadburys in the late 70's, we worked together on the Roses line. She was lots of fun, definitely a hard case. The Roses ladies were a great bunch to work with. She used to talk of her family and her holidays in Naseby. My condolences to all of her family. Another Cadbury legend gone.
So very sorry for your loss, a fantastic neighbour and friend of the Rouds for so many years. thinking of you all xxx
