I worked with Francis at Dr. Voll's office. She was remarkable and I think of her to this day.

Dear Father Dan, Ron, and family,

I had the privilege of knowig Francis while working at Dr. Voll's office. I always looked forward to seeing her- there was something in her spirit that loved life, and it was contagious. I also was continually astonished by the love and devotion within the Siwek family. Father Dan and Ron, I wish you the best. I feel blessed to have known your mother. Remember, we don't go far.. God is good!

Ron, Father Dan, and family,

I think Frances and my own mother Helen used to work at the old Stewart-Warner company, making bombs during World War II. A little connection, however distant.

Stewart-Warner of course is gone. Quigley is gone. At least seven of our classmates are gone. I guess that is the way it goes as we get older; more and more disappears.

Remembering the many good years with your dear Mom & Grandma, as her family grew & blossomed. She had a twinkle in her eye & spring in her step in those days. You, her dear sons & daughter, did all you could to care for her in her old age. May Frances rest in God & may you be comforted now & rewarded in the next by our gracious Lord.

Although we never met Mrs. Siwek personally, we feel like we do know her, as we have been praying for her at Santa Maria for a long time. Our prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow and joy. As Frances is now resting with the Lord in a peaceful place.
