I had the privilege to work with Francine while working at Lawson Ministries, and in that time, we formed a bond that I'll always cherish.
She was such a fiery, vibrant soul with a remarkable ability to light up every room she entered.
She brought so much joy, laughter, and warmth to those around her. Her strength and bold personality were truly unforgettable, and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to know her.
Francine will always be remembered with so much love.

Deepest and heartfelt condolences to her family and colleagues at Old Navy from my family. Francine travelled with me on the Darts bus for a few years and I had come to know her as an angel and likeable person, always thrilled to go on her holiday to Florida and the Caribbean Islands. We had many conversations and I will miss her wonderful composure, friendliness and laughter, especially her first question about whether we are going directly to Limeridge Mall or to her home on pick up. She hated sitting at the back of the bus and would lament how it made her feel sick. Our last conversation, she worried about her relative who was very ill. Always putting people first and foremost. I will miss those conversations and you dearly. May she R.I.E.P...Ron a fellow Darts Rider.

Ron …thank you so much for your very moving message. You must have truly listened intently… you have described Francine perfectly … always worried about others… going on vacations .. not sitting at the back of the bus … an angel! makes me smile and get teary at the same time. I wish you and your family all the best! Francine’s dad.

Francine and I were born one day apart at the same hospital on a snowy February week. We ended up at the same elementary school and were fast friends. Francine and I would laugh ourselves into hysterics during our times spent together. We had dozens of sleep overs, and karaoke lunch party’s. She was the purest, kindest person I knew. I love you dearly and I am thankful to have had you as my friend. Rest in peace Bella

To the Giacomelli family: please accept my deepest condolences. I have so many lovely memories of coming over to your house for play dates and sleepovers with Francine while we were in elementary school. I will never forget how she knew every single word to songs on all of her Madonna albums, and her karaoke birthday party. Francine had the biggest smile, and the kindest heart.

I was very fortunate enough know Francine, as I worked with her for many years through Lawson. Whether we were floating in the pool, eating all the quarter pounders, working our butts off at Old Navy or being lazy on the couch - I cherished every moment. I loved seeing her out and about these last few years and hearing her scream of excitement when she noticed it was me. She truly left a lasting impression on my heart and she will be very missed. My heartfelt condolences to you all during this time - she was so incredibly loved and lucky to have such a strong and loving family.

My favourite memory was when we were helping Bianca and Fabrizio with their new home and I told my husband to do something he of course arguing with me and Francine looked at him and said “Just do what you’re told!”
She may be gone from this world but she will remain forever in the hearts of so many!!
Riposa in Pace Bella Francina!!!

Dear Karen & Fab, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Francine and your family many, many years ago. I immediately experienced the love your family shared for each other and for Francine. It was such a joy to come into your home and spend time with Francine and to even meet your extended family. You all truly demonstrated unconditional love for each other. Your home was filled with love and laughter. I have always remembered Francine over the years; when I met her I think she was just 9 years old … feisty and determined and a smile to light up an entire room. May God Bless Her. Sending my deepest condolences to all of you … may you always find comfort in the beautiful memories your family created. Prayers to you all, Tracy Goodwin-Berryman

In close to four decades of teaching martial arts the memory I have of Francine earning her yellow belt stands out above them all. Remembering her with her infectious smile surrounded by dozens of kids congratulating Francine for her achievement was incredible. Not seeing Francine since the nights shared with her amazing family years ago I was not surprised to see her picture and that she has grown into a beautiful woman with the same infectious smile. My condolences to all of her family for the loss of a truly special soul.
