I'd like to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to the family of Frankie first of all. Then to the many friends, coworkers, patients and their families on the loss of this absolutely wonderful, kind, caring, genuine, honest woman, mother, wife, friend and nurse. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to see and visit with Frankie just 2 weeks prior to her sudden death. She was a dear friend and coworker of mine for over 25 years and she is and will be missed terribly. I love you Frankie and imagining a world without your beautiful smile, infectious laugh, gracious and generous personality and spirit is unfathomable for me. Not to mention all the people whose live's you touched over the years. May God Bless Jess, your sons and their spouses, and the grandchildren whom Frankie adored and couldn't get enough "time" with. Godspeed to you all.

Travis - Prayers be with you and your whole family at this time. I remember when I had you in grade school your mom and I hit it off right away! She always made a point of checking on me if I was in the hospital for anything - she had the best smile. Your whole family has been blessed by having her in your lives!

My heart broke when I heard of Frankie's passing. Frankie was my first Montana friend when I arrived at Community Memorial Hospital in 1974. It was the beginning of a wonderful and long friendship. Words can never express the genuine, loving , caring and devoted woman she was. Our world can never be the same without her. Rest in peace dear friend. Praying that Gods love will heal your sorrow and His peace enter your hearts to comfort you..Jess, TJ, BJ and families.
