  1. Aunt Frances was a most wonderful woman. I’m so happy she was my aunt. I’m thankful for her example of a Godly, loving, gentle and caring spirit.
    She was also a great example of how to take care of oneself; I’m grateful for that too. She loved well and we all loved her. My prayers and thoughts are with all family and friends who are missing her, both right now and the days ahead.
    Much much love,
    Kim

  7. Her smile was contagious. A beautiful woman through out. I’ve been friends with Daniel over 30 years. He definitely took after Frances, caring loving kind soul. It is sad to hear your time has come but I will have memories of you always. I still laugh when I think about your friend request popping up on Facebook. I couldn’t get my mom 20 yrs your jr. to figure out how to use a cell phone. Love you always camille.
