I would have attended the funeral this week but I am in northern Saskatchewan. Franca was a great neighbour and friend who never minded if we were running or hiding around her house when we were kids. She was always generous with Italian cookies and anything growing on her trees and in her garden. We'll remember her always.

Dear Maria, Jack, Joey, Larissa, Elena, Davidson and Rob,
We fondly remember your wonderful Mother/Mother-in-law/Nonna who showed her kindness and generosity to everyone. May God give you courage and strength through the days ahead and may all the memories you shared bring you comfort. When we lose a loved one on earth, we gain an angel who watches over us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Our heartfelt condolences,

Our prayers are with the family. We had a lovely visit with Franca in the summer. Thank you for being such great neighbours during my lifetime in St Catharines.

So sorry to the family's of such a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend. Franca was a special neighbor who always felt as part of our family. She loved our children, our grandchildren and especially our dog Chloe.
We will miss our many visits with her. She was so special and energetic until her illness slowed her down. Sorry we can't be at the funeral as we are in Saskatchewan but our prayers and thoughts are with the family. We couldn't have had a more caring and loving neighbor!

Franca was a lovely lady, inside and out. She was a wonderful neighbour and was always willing to give of herself. We enjoyed the many conversations standing outside as she sat on her porch. We will miss her very much. Ben and Joeen Pace

My heartfelt condolences to the whole family. Franca was a beautiful person and her contagious smile will sure be missed on Leaside Drive. She made growing up on Leaside even more memorable with her willingness to put Curious George on the TV, share her perfectly peeled apples, and of course "Franca's cheese" will always be a family favourite. She was one strong lady.
May you rest in peace Franca.
Love,
Haley, Bob and Maddox

I have very fond memories of growing up with the D'Orantes next door. Franca used to leave her shoes outside the side door and I would sneak over and put them on and go for a walk. Leaside Drive just won't be the same. Thinking of your family and wishing you peace at this sad time. Michelle

I am so sorry to hear this news. Franca was one very special lady and neighbour. Our family have so many special memories, including "Franca's cheese". She was my children's caregiver and babysitter. Our neighbour lost a dear soul.
