God will Bless you for giving so much of your life to your Mother. She would be very proud of you. Hugs and prayers, Tina and Mel Hass

We were sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Frances was the first person that called us and brought us cookies when we moved in to our home south of Malta and East of their place. They were good neighbors and we enjoyed them. Frances had a good long life and has gone on to a better one.
Warmest Regards
