May choirs of angels sing Frances to her rest. She was a big part of my childhood and was a loyal friend to my parents throughout their lives. Prayers of sympathy to the family in their time of loss.

Johnny and I are sorry for the loss of Frances. We know that earth’s loss is heaven’s gain and she is healed and happy with her Lord.
I never got to talk to her but a few times but we talked like we had known each other for many years. Praying for her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
